The 'Improper' Feminine: The Women's Sensation Novel and the New Woman Writing
ISBN: 9780415862066 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The women's sensation novel of the 1860s and the New Woman fiction of the 1890s were two major examples of a perceived feminine invasion of fiction which caused a critical furore in their day. Both genres, with their shocking, 'fast' heroines, fired the popular imagination by putting female sexuality on the literary agenda and undermining the 'proper feminine' ideal to which nineteenth-century women and fictional heroines were supposed to aspire. By exploring in impressive depth and breadth the material and discursive conditions in which these novels were produced, The 'Improper' Feminine...
