| dc.description.abstract | This following research paper, aimed at comparing and studying James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Meena Kandasamy’s When I Hit You: Or, A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife (2017), in the light of the “Anxiety of Authorship” theory developed by the two female theorists Sandra. M Gilbert and Susan Gubar in their collection of essays The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination (1979). Our issue aimed at comparing these two novels together, examine how Meena Kandasamy experienced the anxiety of authorship. At the end and by taking into consideration our issue and working hypothesis, and the theory we have relied on, we came to the result that both writers hold a relationship with each other, as their work showcased important similarities despite being different. As Joyce’s novel earned him, the forefront of modernist literature, Kandasamy wanted him to be her literary father, she took him as a predecessor, and thus she experienced the anxiety of authorship | |
