For some time now I have been interested in myth, and the part that it plays in the construction of gender, in our perceptions of what it is to be male or female. This interest first resulted in an article on the East German writer, Christa Wolf, whose book Cassandra uses that archetypal image of the silenced woman to explore women's relationship both to language in general, and in particular to the patriarchal religious myths that have played so great a part in defining women and their role in society. At the same time I became increasingly aware that religious myths much closer to our own time and culture seemed to preoccupy many of the best women novelists writing today in our supposedly very secular society. A desire to explore the significance of this preoccupation is what prompted this study.
In completing the study, which goes some way beyond my original area of expertise in literary criticism, I have, however, benefited from considerable support of various kinds. First, I must thank the University of Aberdeen for a Research Fellowship which enabled me to concentrate entirely on the project for a period. I am indebted to many of my colleagues in the Women's Studies group at Aberdeen for suggestions and comments, and am particularly grateful to Helen Bond of the Department of Divinity for ensuring that I avoided making fundamental theological errors. Any errors that may have slipped through are entirely my responsibility. I would also like to thank the students who took my course on women novelists and the Bible, whose enthusiasm, ideas and questions have all fed into this book.
More personal thanks are due to Liz Allen, Olivia Farrington and)o Watson, whose ideas, encouragement and friendship have made an important contribution to this project. My biggest debt, however, is to Pam Morris, whose work on critical theory I have regularly turned to while writing this book, and who generously gave detailed and incisive criticism of my manuscript, as well as unfailing support, both of which were much needed and appreciated.
Finally, special thanks are due to Flora Alexander and Siobhan Lloyd, to whom this book is dedicated. It was largely due to their efforts and determination that the Women's Studies programme came ix x Women and the Word into being at the University of Aberdeen, and my pleasure at being part of that programme has been largely due to what they have taught me, and to their friendship.

Women and the Word examines why, in today's secular society, so many of the finest British and American women novelists seem preoccupied with Biblical themes and stories. It offers informed and challenging analysis of individual novels and stories for the literary critic and student. By analysing those texts in the context of myth and religion, however, it also makes an important and ground-breaking contribution to a number of the inter-disciplinary debates taking place within women's studies.
