Using a broad range of methodologies, the contributors examine the physical, sociopolitical, canonical, and psychological kinds of exile that women writers in Western culture have endured over the last hundred years. Djuna Barnes, Isak Dinesen, Sylvia Townsend Warner, Jean Rhys, Virginia Woolf, Alice Walker, and Doris Lessing are among the writers whose narratives of exile are studied.
