Críticas:
"Kelly's book indeed will serve to stimulate, as she hopes, further research in the area of Russian women's writing and will doubtless prompt many new ideas. It is an excellent source for all those who are concerned with women's history, the history of feminism, and Russian literature and culture."--World Literature Today "The History is written with incredible intellectual energy and thoroughness. It is difficult to think of a writer who is not included, and each one is treated with care and originality."--Stephanie Sandler, Amherst College "The first large-scale study to combine a historian's attention to continuities with a feminist's eye for discontinuities and dissenting voices...Kelly's erudition and insight are mixed with much wit....The range of poetry, prose and drama represented in the Anthology both complements the work examined in the History and may stand alone on its own merits. Other anthologies of women's writing in Russia have neither been as extensive nor as well-balanced as this weighty volume...there is no doubt that both are landmark texts which will act as the touchstones of much future research."--Slovonica "[This book] will be of great use to both researchers at an early age of their careers and to those who have devoted many years to the study of Russian women's writing. For the former it will be an indispensable source of information...for the latter it may open up new approaches to an old subject."--Modern Language Review "A History of Women's Writing achieves most vividly what Kelly, in her afterword, has said she wished for: to offer guidance and stimulus to all readers with any interest in Russian women's writing.' Kelly adds that if she has succeeded in this goal, then she would consider her efforts well-rewarded.' And so, as readers, are we."--Slovo Book Reviews "Kelly's book indeed will serve to stimulate, as she hopes, further research in the area of Russian women's writing and will doubtless prompt many new ideas.

Reseña del editor:
Russian women's writing is now attracting great interest both in the West and in Russia itself. This is the first one-volume history of the subject to appear in any language in modern times. Written from a feminist perspective, the book combines a broad historical survey with close textual analysis. Sections on women's writing in the periods 1820-1880, 1881-1917, 1917-1954 and 1953-1992 are followed by essays on individual writers. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including rare literary journals and almanacs, Catriona Kelly's account shows familiar figures such as Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva and Tolstoya in a radical new context, and brings to light a gallery of fascinating but neglected writers including Elena Gan, Nadezhda Teffi, Natalya Baranskaya, and Nina Sadur. The text is supported by quotations from the Russian, all with English translations. Complemented by Dr Kelly's "Anthology of Russian Women's Writing 1777-1992" (also available from OUP), this is a source for readers and students of women's writing, and for all those concerned with women's history, the history of feminism and Russian literature in general. Catriona Kelly is the author of "Petrushka: The Russian Carnival Puppet Theatre", editor of "Discontinuous Discourses in Modern Russian Literature" (with Michael Makin and David Shepherd), and has translated Leonid Borodin's "The Third Truth" and Sergei Kaledin's "The Humble Cemetery".
