Byatt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmbroiled in the sex antagonism that Gilbert and Gubar traced in \u003ci\u003eThe War of the Words\u003c\/i\u003e and in the sexual experimentations that they studied in \u003ci\u003eSexchanges\u003c\/i\u003e, all these artists struggled to envision the inscription of hitherto untold stories on what H.D. called \"the blank pages\/of the unwritten volume of the new.\" Through the works of the first group, Gilbert and Gubar focus in particular on the demise of any single normative definition of the feminine and the rise of masquerades of \"femininity\" amounting to \"female female impersonation.\" In the writings of the second group, the critics pay special attention to proliferating revisions of the family romance--revisions significantly inflected by differences in race, class, and ethnicity--and to the rise of masquerades of masculinity, or \"male male impersonation.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout, Gilbert and Gubar discuss the impact on literature of such crucial historical events as the Harlem Renaissance, the Second World War, and the \"sexual revolution\" of the sixties. What kind of future might such a past engender? Their book concludes with a fantasia on \"The Further Adventures of Snow White\" in which their bravura retellings of the Grimm fairy tale illustrate ways in which future writing about gender might develop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis final volume in Sandra M.
