多选题 When literary periods are defined on the basis of men's writing, women's writing must be forcibly assimilated into an irrelevant grid: a Renaissance that is not a renaissance for women, a Romantic period in which women played very little part, a modernism with which women conflict. Simultaneously, the history of women's writing has been suppressed, leaving large, mysterious gaps in accounts of the development of various genres. Feminist criticism is beginning to correct this situation. Margaret Anne Doody, for example, suggests that during "the period between the death of Richardson and the appearance of the novels of Scott and Austen", which has "been regarded {{U}}as a dead period{{/U}}", late-eighteenth-century women writers actually developed "the paradigm for women's fiction of the nineteenth century—something hardly less than the paradigm of the nineteenth-century novel itself". Feminist critics have also pointed out that the twentieth-century writer Virginia Woolf belonged to a tradition other than modernism and that this tradition surfaces in her work precisely where criticism has hitherto found obscurities, evasions, implausibilities, and imperfections.
The passage provides information that answers which of the following questions?
  • A. In what tradition do feminist critics usually place Virginia Woolf?
  • B. What are the main themes of women's fiction of the nineteenth century?
  • C. What events motivated the feminist reinterpretation of literary history?
  • D. How has the period between Richardson's death and Scott's and Austen's novels traditionally been regarded by critics?
  • E. How was the development of the nineteenth-century novel affected by women's fiction in the same century?
