Her friends included such figures as Harriet Martineau, Lady Byron, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This study considers her life and works, using a different Jameson work as the central focus of each chapter. The author considers the particular non-fiction discourse in which the work is written, as well as such issues as gender and colonialism. Arranged chronologically, the book also charts the growth and development of a determined feminism in the vital years of the early Victorian period, and compares Jameson to her contemporaries.Nineteenth century (Aldershot, England)Feminism and literatureGreat BritainHistory19th centuryWomen and literatureGreat BritainHistory19th centuryGreat BritainIntellectual life19th centuryGreat BritainHistoryVictoria, 1837-1901Feminism and literatureHistoryWomen and literatureHistory808.80092Johnston Judith1947-,562008MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154984603321Anna Jameson1015482UNINA
