Description





This book was first published in 1999. This collection of essays by leading scholars from Britain, the USA and Canada opens up the limited landscape of Victorian novels by focusing attention on some of the women writers popular in their own time but forgotten or neglected by literary history. Spanning the entire Victorian period, this study investigates particularly the role and treatment of 'the woman question' in the second half of the century. There are discussions of marriage, matriarchy and divorce, satire, suffragette writing, writing for children, and links between literature and art. Moving from Margaret Oliphant and Charlotte Mary Yonge to Mary Ward, Marie Corelli, 'Ouida' and E. Nesbit, this book illuminates the complex cultural and literary roles, and the engaging contributions, of Victorian women writers.

Product Description
Review

"...the essays in this book, contributed by a mix of established scholars and capable newcomers, are fresh, reflect sensitive reading, and are for the most part well written..." Victorian Periodicals Review

"...[the book] is greater than the sum of its parts. This achievement stems from the editor's skill in conceiving and executing her subject...The collection's contributors have done a fine job of unmasking the cultural camouflage in which these writers may have disguised their concerns, and of celebrating the multivocality they achieved with one another and even within their own works."
