Beyond Literary Darwinism: Women's Voices and Critical Discourse.

Frey, Olivia

College English, v52 n5 p507-26 Sep 1990

Studies the tone of essays published in the journal "PMLA" from 1975 to 1988. Notes that most are adversarial, and many are sarcastic or condescending. Suggests a sameness within the argumentation that may reflect writers' academic socialization. Concludes that some feminist writers dislike the adversary model and do not employ it. (SG)
