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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVolume 1: 1840s and 1850s\u003c\/i\u003e inaugurates the series by historically and culturally contextualizing Victorian women''s writing distinctly within the 1840s and 1850s. Using a range of critical perspectives including political and literary history, feminist approaches, disability studies, and the history of reading, the volume''s 16 original essays consider such developments as the construction of a post-Romantic tradition, the politicization of the domestic sphere, and the development of crime and sensation writing. Centrally, it reassesses key mid-nineteenth-century female authors in the context in which they first published while also recovering neglected women writers who helped to shape the literary landscape of the 1840s and 1850s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492465385845,"sku":"9783319782256","price":109.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783319782256.jpg?v=1786529317","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/british-womens-writing-from-bronte-to-bloomsbury-volume-1","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
