A monograph that analyzes a number of modern British women writers and the way in which the canon of post-war British writing has been formed. It focuses on four novelists, literary and popular, and interrogates the canon over the years. It unfolds to demonstrate that academic trends increasingly control canonicity, as do the demands of genre.

A monograph analysing a number of modern British women writers and the way in which the canon of post-war British writing has been formed.
