Abstract
This essay was written with the intention of exploring both
personally and critically the growing dialogue among academic
feminists and historians in regard to post-structuralism. What are the
consequences of adopting gender- and literary-theory for methods of
historical inquiry? Having been interested in the subject of female
hysteria in Victorian America, I used this subject as a case study.
This, I hope, will test claims made in the first thirty pages and
also provide a concrete example from the past on which a
historiography can be built and examined. I see this project not as
my definitive statement on the subject but instead as a beginning.
