Yang, Yuehua. Faguo nü xing zhu yi pi ping yu Fujini Wu'erfu [ID D31607]. Yang's article offers a comparative study of Woolf's feminist literary criticism and the French. As early as the 1920s, Woolf pioneered feminist literary criticism based on her profound exploration of the negative influence of social, historical and cultural convention on women and their literary creation as well as on the 'puculiarity' of their literature. Her A room of one's own, Women and fiction, Jane Austen, George Eliot and other essays well illustrate the realm, principle, and methodology of feminist literary criticism, whose objective is 'to challenge the patriarchal convention'. Woolf's feminist literary criticism includes 'the search for women's literary tradition, investigation of gender discrimination in literary practice, and exploration of the subject matter, genre and style of women's literature'. Yang also claims that Woolf holds that 'the aesthetic significance of a work rests not on what it expresses, but on how it does so ; a writer should be impersonal and non-utilitarian and an androgynous mindset is the best state a writer can reach'. |

Yang, Yuehua. Cong dui li zou xiang dui hua [ID D31606]. Yang offers an interpretation of the different gender principles and the metaphorical significance of androgyny through analysis of the three major characters, Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay and Lily Briscoe. Yang states that 'Woolf's female principle and male principle refer to the pecular characteristics each of human sexes possesses. Yang claims that Mrs. Ramsay's female principle is the female virtue and temperament. It can influence not only women but also men and, to some extent, excels the male principle approved by social convention. Mr. Ramsay is the representative of the male principle, who, as an obstinate, rigid and self-centered authority, is indifferent to the sufferings of his wife and children, and only concerned with his pursuit of absolute philosophical truth in terms of reason and logic. Yang believes that 'The third part of the novel indicates that with the passage of time and the test of the disaster the confrontation changed to dialogue and integration. Moreover, this dialogue and integration were established on the basis of restoration of the female principle. He concludes that 'The transition of the androgynous painter Lily Briscoe from a letter character to a major one reveals profoundly the progress of the masculine and feminine powers in an individual from imbalance to balance and integration as well, bringing her creative talent into full play'. |
