British women's writing from Bronte to Bloomsbury.: (1840s and 1850s) - 1

Historically contextualizes and traces developments in women's fiction from 1840 to 1940.

Critically assessing both canonical and lesser-known British women's writing decade by decade, it redefines the landscape of women's authorship across a century of dynamic social and cultural change.

With each of its volumes devoted to two decades, the series is wide in scope but historically sharply defined.
