Excellent!

I read this book about 5 years ago at JNU, New Delhi and found it to be very good at historical analysis of culure and narratives, especially seen from a women's point of view. I also liked the way it focussed on literary "genres"--and their role in the politics of conduct. I recommend it to those interested in cultural analysis, feminism, historicism, and narratology.
