A personal testimony of Geoffrey Ashe's
involvement in the resurgence of Goddess worship. Ashe begins with an account
of his correspondence with Robert Graves during the latter's White Goddess
period, and ends with the 'Goddess' classes Ashe runs at Portland, Oregon.
Geoffrey Ashe has written extensively on mythological and religious subjects.
His previous books include King Arthur's Avalon, Mythology of the British
Isles (Methuen, 1990), The Virgin: Maryís Cult and the Re-emergence
of the Goddess (Arkana, 1988) and Dawn Behind the Dawn (Henry
Holt, New York, 1992)

At Portland State University, Oregon, I give a summer course as a visiting professor, on Goddess myth and history and the implications. When I launched it in 1990 it was, to the best of my knowledge, the only course of its kind at any such institution. Possibly it still is. Looking back over the involvement that has led me to it, I realize that this has been very long and rather curious, and that it sheds light on one or two little-publicized factors in the Goddess movement. Since the movement seems to have come to stay, I think the story worth telling. I have never told it in print before.(Geoffrey Ashe, from Discovering the Goddess)
A very powerful feminist and public speaker, Dworkin is the author of the highly influential book Pornography: Men Possessing Women, of which Mary Daly wrote: 'An original, brilliant, courageous work combining massive and precise research with incisive analysis.' Cited by many feminists, often in passing, often in a negative light, Dworkin has rarely been the subject of a full-length treatment, as here. This book sympathetically and critically surveys the chief themes of Dworkin's polemical feminism, including her anti-pornography stance; the controversial bill of rights; sexual politics; and literary æsthetics. Robinson links Dworkin to French feminism, queer, gay and lesbian theory, Anglo-American feminism, and American literature.
'It's amazing for me to see my work treated with such passion and respect.' (Andrea Dworkin)
Jeremy Robinson's books include Glorification:
Religious Abstraction in Renaissance and 20th Century Art (1990), Rimbaud
(1992), Lawrence Durrell (1995) and Detonation Britain: Nuclear
War in the UK (1997). He edits two magazines, Passion and
Pagan America (a journal of American poetry).

I am more reckless now than when I started out because I know what everything costs and it doesn't matter. I have paid a lot to write what I believe to be true. On one level, I suffer terribly from the disdain that much of my work has met. On another, deeper level, I don't give a fuck.(Andrea Dworkin, from Letters From a War Zone)
The women's movement is like other political movements in one important way. Every political movement is committed to the belief that there are certain kinds of pain that people should not endure. They are unnecessary. They are gratuitous. They are not part of the God-given order. They are not biologically inevitable. They are acts of human will. They are acts done by some human beings to other human beings.
(Andrea Dworkin, from "Feminism: An Agenda")
Fashion, image-making, sexism, gender, identity, materialism, feminism, commodity capitalism in the 'women's magazine' market. Ranging from the monthly 'glossies' (Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Elle and Vogue) to the 'homely' weeklies (Bella, Best and Woman's Own), through the 'style press' (Arena, GQ, i-D, The Face) to 'teenage' magazines (Jackie, Smash Hits, Mizz and Just Seventeen), this is one of the very few full-length analyses of the cultural products that sell in their millions.

As writers, philosophers, speakers and feminists, Julia Kristeva, Hélène Cixous and Luce Irigaray are among the most provocative, subtle and illuminating voices in contemporary culture. Their concepts and methodologies continue to excite debate and contention among feminists and cultural critics. Ives discusses their major ideas, which include: jouissance and 'explosive' sexuality; women and marginality; the 'gift'; the pre-oedipal chora and semiotic realm; labial lips that embrace; social oppression; the relations between writing, language and identity; and the politics of gender, patriarchy and motherhood. Ives studies the relation of Cixous, Irigaray and Kristeva to other feminists, and to figures such as Nietzsche, de Beauvoir, Hegel, Marx, Joyce, Derrida, Barthes, Rimbaud, Lacan and Freud.
Kelly Ives teaches women's studies and
feminist theory at the University of California. Her books include Reading
the Silences (1988), on writers such as Jane Austen, Emily Bronte and
Virginia Woolf, Lesbian Tracks (1991), on lesbianism in pop music,
and Wild Zones: Pornography, Art and Feminism (Crescent Moon, 1994).

For her joyous benefits she is erogenous; she is the erotogeneity of the heterogeneous: airborne swimmer, in flight, she does not cling to herself; she is dispersible, prodigious, stunning, desirous and capable of others, of the other woman that she will be, of the other woman she isnít, of him, of you.(Hélène Cixous, from The Newly-Born Woman)
Julia Kristeva is a highly influential French philosopher and writer whose work encompasses semiotics; linguitics; women in China; modern America; the intellectual or dissident; concepts such as the power of horror; abjection; melancholy; and the chora or 'semiotic, pre-oedipal realm'; the Madonna and maternal world; and avant garde modernists such as Artaud, Joyce, Mallarme and Beckett

Nights of wakefulness, scattered sleep, sweetness of the child, warm mercury in my arms, cajolery, affection, defenceless body, his or mine, sheltered, protected. A wave swells again, when he goes to sleep, under my skin - tummy, thighs, legs: sleep of the muscles, not of the brain, sleep of the flesh. The wakeful tongue quietly remembers another withdrawal, mine: a blossoming heaviness in the middle of the bed, of a hollow, of the sea...(Julia Kristeva, from "Stabat Mater")

An exploration of the often controversial French thinker and feminist. Ives discusses Irigaray's relation with Nietzsche, Freud, Lacan, and other feminists. Irigaray's provocative notions include: labial lips embracing; sexual difference; the speculum; 'sexuate rights' and sexual ethics; women's language and power; angels; and female mystics.

She is indefinitely other in herself... [women] are already elsewhere than in the discursive machinery where you claim to take them by surprise. They have turned back within themselves, which does not mean the same thing as within yourselfí. They do not experience the same interiority that you do and which perhaps you mistakenly presume they share.(Luce Irigaray, from This Sex Which Is Not One)
Hélène Cixous is a challenging and lyrical French feminist and writer, author of the influential esay "The Laugh of the Medusa" and (with Catherine Clément) The Newly-Born Woman. Cixous is immensely productive, writing novels, plays, essays and poetic prose. Her ideas have provoked much debate in feminism: on the body, orgasmic writing, 'feminine' texts ('écriture féminine'), essentialism and the Nietzschean 'gift'.

Almost everything is yet to be written by women about femininity: about their sexuality, that is, its infinite and mobile complexity, about their eroticization, sudden turn-ons of a certain miniscule-immense area of their bodies; not about destiny, but about the adventure of such and such a drive, about trips, crossings, trudges, abrupt and gradual awakenings, discoveries of a zone at one time timorous and soon to be forthright. A womanís body, with its thousand and one thresholds of ardor...(Hélène Cixous, from "The Laugh of the Medusa")

[The body's] form, capacities, behaviour, gestures, movements, potential are primary objects of political contestation. As a political object, the body is not inert or fixed. It is pliable and plastical material, which is capable of being formed and organized in other, quite different ways or according to different classifactory schema than our binarised models.(Elizabeth Grosz)

I want, with Lady C, to make an adjustment in consciousness to the basic physical realities. I realize that one of the reasons why common people often keep - or kept - the natural glow of life, just warm life, longer than educated people, was because it was still possible for them to say fuck! or shit without either a shudder or a sensation. If a man had been able to say to you when you were young and in love: an' if tha shits, an' if tha pisses, I' glad, I shouldna want a woman who couldna shit nor piss - surely it would have been a liberation to you, and it would have helped to keep your heart warm.(D.H. Lawrence, letter to Lady Ottoline Morrell, 28 December, 1928)
'Infinite sensual violence' is one of the
phrases Lawrence employs in his two great novels, The Rainbow and
Women in Love which, with Lady Chatterley's Lover, form the
heart of this study of love, emotion, sexuality, gender, identity and feminism
in Lawrence's work. Pace sees Lawrence as still today one of the most challenging
of writers, whose provocative, angry and sometimes simplistic ideas polarize
critics and feminists.

Thomas Hardy and Feminism
There are surprisingly few feminist analyses of Hardy, and most do not get beyond vague notions of sexism and misogynism, in the Kate Millett manner. Elvy's book, however, uses up-to-date research in the fields of cultural studies, feminist poetics, gay, lesbian and queer theory. This new, postmodern and incisive exploration of Hardy offers an exciting and radical reappraisal of the discourses of gender, desire, class, economy, socialization, identity and patriarchy in his fiction and poetry.
Margaret Elvy recently taught at Dartmouth
College, Hanover, New Hampshire. She has written books on George Eliot,
Margaret Atwood and Toni Morrison. She has three books on Thomas Hardy
from Crescent Moon (Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Thomas Hardy's
Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Sexing Hardy: Thomas Hardy and Feminism).

She was immediately angry at having betrayed even to herself the possible evanescence of her passion for him. She could not admit at once that she might have over-estimated Wildeve, for to perceive his mediocrity now was to admit her own great folly heretofore.
(Thomas Hardy, from The Return of the Native)
To read an extract from Sexing Hardy, click here
Hardy's last, great novel is lucidly analyzed employing up-to-date developments in gender, feminist and cultural studies. Sue Bridehead is reinstated as central to the novel, and to Hardy's bitter, polemical attack on the institutions of marriage, religion, education, sexuality, identity, gender and politics.
Margaret Elvy is assistant professor, Dept
of English, at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. She has written

...there is nothing perverted or depraved in Sue's nature. The abnormalism consists in disproportion, not in inversion, her sexual instinct being healthy as far as it goes, but unusually weak and fastidious. Her sensibilities remain painfully alert notwith-standing, as they do in nature with such women. One point illustrating this I could not dwell upon: that, though she has children, her intimacies with Jude have never been more than occasional, even when they were living together. (I mention that they occupy separate rooms, except towards the end), and one of her reasons for fearing the marriage ceremony is that she fears it would be breaking faith with Jude to withhold herself at pleasure, or altogether, after it; though while uncontracted she feels at liberty to yield herself as seldom as she chooses. This has tended to keep his passion as lust at the end as at the beginning, and helps to break his heart. He has never really possessed her as freely as he desired.
(Thomas Hardy, writing to Edmund Gosse about Jude the Obscure)
A detailed and incisive analysis of Hardy's classic novel, using the latest research in feminism, gay, lesbian and queer theory, and cultural studies. Elvy offers a thorough reappraisal of Hardy's favourite heroine. She incorporates much of recent Hardy criticism, in which Hardy has been reappraised in the light of materialist, psychoanalytic, gender, poststructuralist and feminist criticism.

This book offers an unflinching critical
analysis of 'the most famous woman in the world'. Though featuring prominently
in the popular press, TV, radio, magazines and so on, 'the Diana phenomenon'
has been largely neglected by serious academic criticism. Topics studied
include: the Princess of Wales as a Goddess-type and icon; Diana and the
tabloids; Diana in women's magazines; Diana in the media; Diana, the monarchy,
politics and the constitution; Diana and charity; gender, sexuality, romance
and fantasy in the world of the Princess; Diana, image-making and her public
persona; the Princess in the arts (in fiction, painting, pop music, etc);
the media's portrayal of her personal life; the Princess in TV news and
documentaries; Diana as media star and the cult of celebrity; the 'national
mourning' of Diana; and how feminism has treated the Princess.
