Review
'...extremely welcome and useful... This fine collection will be an asset to both teachers and researchers, and its wide range of sources and arguments make it a perfect text...propel New Woman studies into another new century.' - Thomas Hardy Journal; 'Essential reading for anyone interested in the late Victorian period.' - Nineteenth-Century Feminisms; '...in a rich variety of discussions of British literature, politics and aesthetics at the fin de siecle, this collection reminds us once more, in the words of Rita Felski, of women's central importance in the analysis of modernity.'... - Times Literary Supplement
Product Description
A cultural icon of the "fin de siecle", the "New Woman" was not one figure, but several. In the guise of a bicycling, cigarette smoking Amazon, the "New Woman" romped through the pages of "Punch" and popular fiction as a neurasthenic victim of social oppression, she suffered in the pages of "New Woman" novels such as Sarah Grand's hugely successful "The Heavenly Twins". This title marks a departure in 19th century scholarship to explore the polyvocal nature of the late Victorian debates around gender, motherhood, class, race and imperialism which converged in the name of the "New Woman".
