问题       As the works of dozens of women writers have
     been rescued from what E. P. Thompson calls
     "the enormous condescension of posterity," and
     Line considered in relation to each other, the lost continent
(5) of the female tradition has risen like Atlantis
     from the sea of English literature. It is now
     becoming clear that, contrary to Mill’s theory,
     women have had a literature of their own all
     along. The woman novelist, according to Vineta
(10) Colby, was "really neither single nor anomalous,"
     but she was also more than a "register and
     spokesman for her age." She was part of a tradition
     that had its origins before her age, and has
     carried on through our own.
(15)   Many literary historians have begun to reinterpret
     and revise the study of women writers. Ellen Moers
     sees women’s literature as an international
     movement, "apart from, but hardly subordinate
     to the mainstream: an undercurrent, rapid and
(20) powerful. This ’movement’ began in the late
     eighteenth century, was multinational, and produced
     some of the greatest literary works of two
     centuries, as well as most of the lucrative pot-
     boilers." Patricia Meyer Spacks, in The Female
(25) Imagination, finds that "for readily discernible
     historical reasons women have characteristically
     concerned themselves with matters more or less
     peripheral to male concerns, or at least slightly
     skewed from them. The differences between traditional
(30) female preoccupations and roles and male
     ones make a difference in female writing." Many
     other critics are beginning to agree that when we
     look at women writers collectively we can see an
     imaginative continuum, the recurrence of certain
(35) patterns, themes, problems, and images from generation
     to generation.
