The phenomena of ‘the new’ — ‘New Women’, ‘New Unionism’, ‘New Imperialism’, ‘New Ethics’, ‘New Critics’, ‘New Journalism’, ‘New Man’ — are this moment’s touchstones. This book tracks the period's new social phenomena and unfolds its distinctively modern modes of writing. It provides expert introductions amid new insights into women’s writing throughout the United Kingdom and around the globe. .History of British Women's WritingLiterature, Modern—20th centuryBritish literatureComparative literatureLiterature—History and criticismFictionTwentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000British and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000Comparative Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000Literary Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000Fictionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000Literature, Modern—20th century.British literature.Comparative literature.Literature—History and criticism.Fiction.Twentieth-Century Literature.British and Irish Literature.Comparative Literature.Literary History.Fiction.809.04Laird Holly Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255255203321The History of British Women's Writing, 1880-19202533324UNINA
