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. Volume 1: 1840s and 1850s 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. 410 0$aBritish Women?s Writing from Brontė to Bloomsbury, 1840-1940,$x2523-7160 ;$v1 606 $aLiterature, Modern?19th century 606 $aFiction 606 $aPoetry 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000 606 $aFiction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000 606 $aPoetry and Poetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/824000 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?19th century. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aFiction. 615 24$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aBritish and Irish Literature. 676 $a820.99287 702 $aGavin$b Adrienne E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $ade la L.
