    Open AccessCatherine N ParkeARTICLESouth Central Review1992

    To read from the perspective of gender means to consider how the socially defined portraiture to which we give the names man and woman functions in the creation, production, and reception of literature. This proposition about the social construction of gender is one of the central tenets of post-structuralist critical theory and practice. Given some of the notorious statements attributed to Samuel Johnson, such as his remark cited in Boswell's Li…
