基本説明
Mary Cholmondeley was one of the best-selling 'New Woman' writers of the late nineteenth century, yet her perceived reluctance to engage directly with political and feminist issues has meant that she has also been one of the most overlooked. This important new collection of essays challenges that critical misconception, revisiting her work and examining the ways in which her writing subtly explored the principles of social change.
Full Description
This book provides a necessary critical reappraisal of one of the most challenging and subversive of nineteenth-century women writers.
