Robert Penn Warren's Novels : Feminine and Feminist Discourse (Modern American Literature: New Approaches)

Draws on theories of women's speech, voice, and self-realization to illuminate the modern American novelist's awareness of gender differences in language and psychological development. Focusing on dialogue contents and motivation of women characters, reveals Warren's understanding of and sensitivity to women's ways of speaking and self- actualization.
