Like other fine critics, Armstrong leaves me with as many questions as answers. How does domestic fiction stand in relation to other fictional genres? Or is all fiction domestic in some form or another? If the feminine body is nothing but words, is masculinity simply a creation of that feminine subjectivity? Or is it an assemblage of domesticated masculinity plus some other body of texts? I also feel that in tracing the ascension of middle class subjectivity to a hegemonic position, Armstrong may overstate the reach of middle class culture. Is there no alternative conception of femininity that it could not successfully incorporate or abject? ( )
