Some postmodernist characteristics in Laura riding Jackson's selected poems

Abstract EN

Postmodernism has dominated the literary arena since the seventies of the twentieth century.

It has not determined whether it was a reaction or extension to modernism.

Certain critics saw that there was no clear-cut between modernism and postmodernism.

The paper sheds some light on some postmodern characteristics in some of Laura Riding Jackson's selected poems.

These features include unreal-self, alienation, practical signification and autonomous meaning.

The research is confined to the analysis of these characteristics in Laura's selected poems.

The paper also highlights Jackson's feminist trend.

It reaches certain results.

The most important result is that Jackson's contribution to the establishment of postmodernism is evident in her feminist trend.

Her role in this field is unnegligible.
