Feminist literary criticism comes in many forms. Feminist literary critics may look at the portrayal of female characters in male authors’ books; or they may focus their attention on well-known female writers; or they may focus on neglected female writers; or they may reject a focus on literature alone as ahistorical and look at the historical conditions of literary creation: or they may look at language itself and develop a proper female language. Some feminist critics have accused other feminist critics of weakening instead of strengthening feminism by emphasizing its separateness; other feminist critics have accused other feminist critics of having created, in their rejection of male stereotypes which denigrate women, counterstereotypes of feminine virtue which ignore real differences of race, age, class and culture. (Schwarz, Daniel R.: James Joyce: The Dead. Boston and New York: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 1994: 178-82). Personally, I am interested in the question as to whether one can tell if a text has been written by a woman or a man. Someone who famously managed to do this in one case was Dickens, who identified George Eliot as a woman in spite of the pseudonym she used.
