Terry Threadgold has produced an immensely astute, sophisticated and innovative analysis of the intersection of feminist theory with linguistics, semiotics and performance theory. Feminist Poetics is wide-ranging, eclectic, iconoclastic, energetic and suggestive in it range and scope: it challenges a politically disinvested structuralism to accommodate--and transform--the political, social and cultural requirements of feminism and postmodernism.
–Elizabeth Grosz, author of Space, Time and Perversion and co-editor of Sexy Bodies
Threadgold is massively well-informed, and accurate and perceptive in her presentations and re- readings of her materials. Feminist Poetics is not only scholarly, but committed and personal, clearly written in a strong individual voice. This is a stimulating work which redefines the agenda of poetics.
