GILBERT & SUSAN GUBAR Yale University Press, $30.00 Ampersand Recently some friends and I were trying to determine why we would re-read the works of Victorian women writers (including many we have never seen before) than pick up the highest high-trodden women's novel. We decided, after several hours, that the Victorian woman wrote of ethics, moral choices and actions, more was to life than simply deciding whether to cheat on their husbands with one man or two. But now there is a far brighter light on the subject. An actress named Grace Gibert and Guhar B's The Madwoman in the Attic does precisely what I and my friends were unable to do explain why these Victorian women remain as well as rebellious ones as they did when written more than century ago. If the world is for men, where do women exist? if women exist only to be angels, what of our darker thoughts? Some of Gilbert and Guba's conclusions inspire shouts of anger in the crowd. One of the Ouedal struggle, but a feminist one. The two women — sweet, passive Snow White, and the evil, active Queen Where could women find examples of themselves? Foremost writers such as Goethe, Milton and Swift divided their novels among some creatures) and angels, perpetual virgins who were equally unhuman. The quotes from these accepted geniuses are enough to turn any novelist into a template is feminine, action is masculine, and the ideal woman is a death-like fragile heroine ready to exert herself in the world. Poe said "The death of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world" — no doubt to everyone except the woman. Gilbert and Gubar, both university teachers, make no hones about writing from a feminist perspective; they claim their students should be the right to think, but to express themselves, a claim Gilbert and Gubar back up with some terrifying examples, one of which is *Hopkins in 1886* (the writer's most essential quality is mastery which is a kind of男礼 gift and especially marks off men from women, the feminine attribute). Unfortunately, Hopkins was not the exception of his day, this kind of think left literary women out on the fringe, freaks and abstractions of This is one work which truly breaks new ground, one of those rare texts that will set the standard for teaching literature. The book is doubtful any cynical professor will ever again be able to dismiss Jane Austen for writing "only" intimate domestic stories. You can compare her unfavorably to her ill-fashioned husband. Gilbert and Habar have quite simply put women writers on the highest rung of the literary ladder. are simply mirror images of each other, and the battle is not to win the man but to reconcile the two sides of the feminine psyche. Mary Shelley's *Pride and Prejudice* (an almost continuous staircase) or her from ages 17 to 21), is put in the context of responding to Milton's "darious Lost," dealing with his concept of the "Monstrous Sew" which Virginia Woolf described as unnatural in this text) called the "Milton's Bogey." The title of the book of course refers to Bertha Rochester from *Jane Eyre*, that actual midwoman in the at-attendance room of a condition experienced with varying intensity by a great many women. Along with works like *The Minotaur and the Mermaid* by Dorothy Dimenstein, the *Turtle*, by Mary Ann Woods, is persuable text for understanding the world in which we live. It's expensive at $30.00, but it is a book to which one can refer repeatedly, not only for its beauty, but also for its encouragement about our lives today. Jacoba Atlas Firestarter STEPHEN KING Viking Press $13.95 BOID Discovering the Mind WALTER KAUFMANN Vol. II (McGraw-Hill $14.95) IFS Stephen Kinnocks out formula talks about ordinary people, folks much like you or me — except that they can see into the future or cause change. Stephan Clemens and logiasonists are pitted against, and triumph over, the evest of forces. King doesn't for a moment aspire to a kingdom; he does show a degree of craftsmanship his characters, but as clearly defined as possible, are believable, even if they do not show the sharp visual acuity of a filmmaker as he shifts time and space to effect. His fauls are few, but they're major; he is both overly fine and excessively frenzied. He is keen awareness that less is indeed more, pushing his hilker narratives far past the point of credence, and hastening a book had to weigh a lot to be good. Firestarter is the story of a young girl who's born with the power to start fires as will it (as result of a group drug team) and then uses it (as teammate and her father (the mother has been murdered), both on the run from pursuing government thugs in an assassination them. The first 290 incidents have been solved but then the fantasy that King has concocted falls flat, the spam he's cast is broken, and the reader is left with a runaway novel that leads to a stale, purposeless conclusion. King never knows what happened to him, but have not been up to the level of *Garie*, the tight, well-paced drama that gave him his first major success; in Firestarter, an overprinted cheap thrill book by a man whose name is *King*.

"Nietzsche really belongs with Freud." Kluhnmann insists, "because he offered far more than the scattered insights that we find in Shakespeare or even Dante's use of language," a sense in which Goethe could not be called one ... It is torturous business, this effort to "discover the mind," as the proclimate Princeton philosopher photographer Jude Pincott has said, is clear in this second volume (on Nietzsche, Heidegger and Buber) of his tribute on the roots of contemporary philosophy Goethe, Kant and Hegel). Nietzsche, Goethe, Freud, respectively philosopher, poet and psychiatrist, have contributed, each in his own fashion, to this book. ROGER, IT SEEMS THAT OUR CRUISE VOTER, MAY ARE FURGING, MISSED HIS BUS AND ARRIVED NERE AFTER THEM, WHERE DID I WAITER? Except for Freud, professional psychologists have contributed far less than have Goethe, Hegel and Nietzsche to the discovery of the Heard stuff this, argued intelligently, understandably, with only a bit of scholarly overgotupation to slow down the brisk phrase. Freud himself said Nietzsche, much maligned for his supraplenum, was not penetrating knowledge of himself than any other man who ever lived or was likely to like it. Surely Freud's concept of the supergoal was inspired by Nietzsche's *ubermensch* or superman Further, argues Kaufman the father of the so-called provoked Freud to post the 'death in stint' as a second principle motivating human behavior. Kuhnmann deals out persuasive arguments, though some subject volumes have been written by him. Adler and Jung, to be the grand synthesis of Kuhnman's philosophy for the last century, are available.

One of the most inviting prospects to both brothers of the potential impact of the BusBys is not so much their influence on white audiences as being able to reach them readily accepted by black listeners, Brian admits. "But a lot of black musicians who we really respect — Maurice W., Partridge, Steve Winder, Wedow are upended for a long time — are completely about what we're doing." The O Neil brothers protest to the contrary, the Busys do *stand* for a band that dissembles creative barriers as forcefully, fumily and finally as the Busys is bound to act as a catalyst for all manner of musical cross-talk. "When we first started playing rock, we used white faces wishing on its resemblance, but now we've started coming out of the woodwork. We know there are more black rock girls than men." (continued) Who knows? We may soon be seeing a quartet of white guitar in taxedos singing five part harmonies and ten strings. A string or String er things have already happened.

His latest LP *Scary Monsters* is a continuation of his recent streak of cerebral, unsettling lyrics, and topped by *Love*. All unique bowie creations. Like last year's *lodge album*, Bowie serves up his teck-to rock blend with great coolness and calculation here. Scary Monsters' atmosphere of brooding paranoia is constructed with medicinal care, emphasizing abusive lyrics; the monstrous, siltering hilarity and piercing guitar (courtesy of Robert Fripp) surround Bowie's sometimes morose sometimes hypertense vocals. Old dips, such as a Japanese translation of *Kimono*, just like just for the sake of bizarreness. Bowie uses his lyrics as extensions of his arrangement scheme, offering themes of struggle and complement his music. Up The Hill Backwards," Ashes to Ashes to Ashes" and "Because You're Young" are abrasive in their use of emotion, a mood of danger and intrigue. The weakest track, "Fashion", is also the band's signature on disco culture of little import. There's at least one song here, how ever, that manages to be both explicit and hard-hitting "Scream like a Baby" is an account of a government attack on a woman who emotion and immediacy.
