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$aBritish Women's Writing from Brontė to Bloomsbury, 1840-1940,$x2523-7179 ;$v1 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aFiction 606 $aPoetry 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aPoetry and Poetics 606 $aEuropean Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 676 $a820.99287 702 $aGavin$b Adrienne E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $ade la L.
