Reviews

'Hellman's study of these four authors unsettles the comfortable boundaries that categorize the domestic as personal, private, and female and shows that the use of 'domesticity' as an analytical paradigm continues to lead us to fresh insights about literature, culture, and human experience. Hellman's treatment of familiar and lesser-studied texts by authors already well established in the study of American women writers makes her work of particular relevance to scholars in the subfields of each author.'- TSWL
