When theory is declared dead and categories are tantalisingly shifting, how does one attempt a feminist critique? Dr. S. Thillainayagam, while writing the present volume of Feminist Literary Essays must have been haunted by many uncertainties. The brave attempt must be appreciated. He has covered a wide spectrum, from native Tamil writers to non-white Canadian writers, from Jane Eyre to Samskara. It is particularly difficult for a man to claim acceptability and legitimacy in the field of feminist studies where the female voice is clearly privileged. There are, no doubt, a number of men, who are feminists, their number among postmodernists being particularly large. Still, it is somehow doubted that a man can have a woman’s sensitivities. So, men like Dr. S. Thillainayagam have to doubly prove themselves.
