Women's Friendship in Literature
New York: Columbia Univ Press, 1980. Fine Hardcover in a Near Fine Dust Jacket.
No flaws or blemishes; but minimal retail handling with a minor bit of soiling on the top front edge of the dust jacket. 434 pages with an index and bibliography.
In the introduction to her book, Women's Friendships in Literature, Janet Todd says that the main reason for writing the book is to prove Virginia Woolf wrong.
In A Room of One's Own, Woolf claims that she has never encountered a description of real female friendship in the course of her reading.
Todd totally disagrees with her. She feels that Eighteenth century literature in particular is "rich in presentations of female friendship"
