(Sem)Erotics - Theorizing Lesbian: Writing

What is at stake in the production of experimental texts by lesbian writers? what motivates these writers and characterizes their work? In this work, Elizabeth Meese examines the ways in which the experiences of the text, and the experiences of character, diverge and converge wit the writer's own biography.

Summary

Examines the ways in which the "experiences" of the text, and the "experiences" of characters, diverge and converge with the writer's own biography. Meese considers such issues as authorial intention, the intersection of life and work and the semiotic/erotic space of the woman writer's body.
