Product Description
Galton Institute Newsletter
"... well-researched and well-written study."
Review
One of the most challenging and original studies I have come across for a long time. (John Carey )
...an illuminating examination of the ways in which feminist writers incorporated eugenics and notions of rational reproduction into fiction in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. (Lara Marks, Medical History )
beautifully written and meticulously argued (Naomi Hetherington, Textual Practice )
Richardson's highlighting of the diverse ways in which love was constructed is compelling... elegantly and cogently brings together a wide range of eugenic and anti-eugenic sources and thinkers. (Lucy Delap, Women's History Review )
Swiftly establishes itself as a very significant contribution to the expanded field of New Woman scholarship... of Grand, of the feminism of the period and of the cultural history of eugenics itself. (Carolyn Burdett, Women: A Cultural Review )
Richardson enriches our understanding of the connections between feminist thought and Victorian biological science. (Chris Waters, History Workshop Journal )
a very well-written and thoughtful piece of scholarship that successfully combines historical analysis and literary criticism. It is a welcome and important contribution to the cultural study of British eugenics and early feminism and, crucially, to the relationship between the two. (Nadja Durbach, H-Net )
Richardson provides a valuably warts-and-all history of how feminism intersected with biological racism and hereditary elitism. As a result, this is a genuinely important contribution to the history of British feminism. (John Waller, British Journal for the History of Science )
A finely organized and superbly researched study which significantly extends our knowledge of a literary cadre. (Roger Ebbatson, Thomas Hardy Journal )
