To make an interpretation about the theory of "anxiety of authorship" which put forwarded by Sandra M.Gilbert and Susan Gubar in gender dimension,this paper analyzes about the "anxiety of sexual identity" of woman writer which abstracted from"anxiety of authorship”in detail,and make an inspection of the specific space expression and the commonality of the corresponding correction strategy used by woman writer.The“anxiety of authorship”is a kind of fear of authoritative identity comes from the status of subculture,which points to the reflection on the reality dilemma of woman writer which Filled with Sublimation obstacles.It is a variant expression of woman writer's "anxiety of sexual identity" in literature field,and they have the relationship of heterogeneous isomorphism.In literary subculture situation which similar to reality,writing just as the way of anti-repression,and because of the female sexual identity is out of step with the linguistic environment of literature which has single spirit and gender make the woman writer's writing along with negative emotions,and anger even crazy situation as friends,so female writing presents complex pathological manifestations.Among them,the emergence of "mad woman" in literature make woman writer's angry presents an ultimate form of visualization in text,which revealing the existence of their "double strategy",and it could be regarded as the literary product of "anxiety of sexual identity".Therefore,the analysis of the metaphor of "mad woman" is the key part of this thesis,and the characteristics of symbol of "mad woman"could be used as a mask or prop for women to strive for freedom and liberation.In order to emphasize the relations about woman writer's mental anguish,the metaphor of "mad woman" s image and the common women's reality situation,this paper tries to change the concept about "anxiety of authorship "to " anxiety of sexual identity ".The two coauthors who have made the "anxiety of authorship”been put forwarded also believe that the "double strategy" is a product of woman writer's anxiety about their "cultural identity of second sex ".The concept about "anxiety of sexual identity" is closer to the actual connotation about "anxiety of cultural identity of second sex",and it could express woman writer's creative mental disorder which made by their sexual identity much more bluntly,also it could indicate the core content about "anxiety of authorship",which will make the cause of woman writer's anxiety about authoritative identity be exposed in a more direct way.The introduction part explains the reason why we should replace the concepts,and it tries to make a general overview of early hypothetical questions and literature review in a way that fits the reality of this study,besides,it tries to state the content of each chapter,the research paradigm,ideas and methods in this part.Through the abstraction of real problems,combined with holding on to the gender dimension about the theory of"anxiety of authorship",this paper in order to describe the question about woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity in a more targeted and professional way,and it also tries to explore much more detailed questions and draw some meaningful conclusions.The first step is to analyze from Harold bloom's theory about "anxiety of influence" to explore the parts which have been used as the source of inspiration belongs to "anxiety of authorship",and the key of it is not to interpret the details of“anxiety of influence",but to tell the kernel of anxiety of authorship "clearly,that is to tell the cause and effect of the formation about woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity clearly.This paper tries to abstract and restore the specific process of Sandra M.Gilbert and Susan Gubar who took the inspiration from.The thesis puts forward the concept of woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity in the first chapter,and puts it as an argument.The macro interpretation of the latter one is achieved through the identification of“anxiety of influence”and the concept of woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity.It also assumes and discusses the categories of woman writer's self-correcting methods from the interpretation of "anxiety of influence"s six revisionary rats.The second chapter through the layered research about female body's space,real cultural space,woman writer's mental space and literary space to finish reviewing about the causes and manifestations of woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity.The third chapter tries to change concerns to woman writer themselves and both to abstracts the categories of woman writer periodically,and also comparing them with other different types of women,thus to highlight the female experience which represented by woman writer,in order to explore the performance in psychological experience level of woman writer.The fourth chapter is to make a macroscopic summary of woman writer's presentations about Correction strategy,and divide the images into two parts according to the cool and warm colors.It also tries to divide their strategy into literal space's code presentation and deep network structure in accordance with the dominant and recessive principles.The epilogue exists as a part about questioning of other questions which related to the main argument.In this paper,the study of woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity is considered as a prerequisite for the theoretical research,and it is characterized as a research about practice of text criticism based on feminist narrative.In this thesis,the conceptual definition and secondary abstraction of woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity are completed on a theoretical level.Due to Sandra M.Gilbert and Susan Gubar's research reached a climax in Anglo-American female center criticism,this paper depends on the clear direction of female center criticism which tries to rebuild a new aesthetic experience as purpose to comment on the issue of woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity.This paper also adopts the methods of psychoanalysis criticism at the same time,and tries to put its use in literature as a neutral position analysis,and this paper also makes a feminist revision and reinterpretation of Freudian's psychoanalysis based on borrowing and using it,besides,it contains the analysis of some specific contents as while.This thesis' conclusion towards to make an affirmation of woman writer's creative skills which have been used in the process of polyphonic narration and text structure,and it tries to get close to have a chance to rewrite the concept of masculine authorship.Due to the way of defining the concept of woman writer's anxiety of sexual identity exists in the midst of change,so the whole thesis could be regarded as a hierarchical and progressive illustration of it.
