单选题 "The emancipation of women," James Joyce
told one of his friends, "has caused the greatest
revolution in our time in the most important
Line relationship there is—that between men and
(5) women." Other modernists agreed: Virginia
Woolf, claiming that in about 1910, "human
character changed," and, illustrating the
new balance between the sexes, urged "Read
the 'Agamemnon,' and see whether your
(10) sympathies are not almost entirely with
Clytemnestra." D. H. Lawrence wrote, "per-
haps the deepest fight for 2000 years and more,
has been the fight for women's independence."
But if modernist writers considered women's
(15) revolt against men's domination one of
their "greatest" and "deepest" themes, only
recently—in perhaps the past 15 years—has
literary criticism begun to catch up with it. Not
that the images of sexual antagonism that
(20) abound in modern literature have gone unre-
marked; far from it. But what we are able to see
in literary works depends on the perspectives
we bring to them, and now that women—
enough to make a difference—are reforming
(25) canons and interpreting literature, the land-
scapes of literary history and the features of
individual books have begun to change.
