Malet's writing was intrinsically linked to her passion for art. Her novels reference contemporary paintings and her - often subversive - interpretations of them. The language of the visual arts is used as a literary device, disrupting the narrative structure and creating a deliberate stylistic tension.
This is the first book-length study of Malet's novels. Four works are discussed, spanning her writing career; Mrs Lorimer (1882), The Wages of Sin (1890), The History of Sir Richard Calmady (1901) and The Survivors (1923). Delyfer's analysis not only provides an insight into the development of Malet's unique style, but demonstrates their importance in the development of Modernist female writing. 410 0$aGender and genre ;$vno. 6. 517 3 $aArt & Womanhood in Fin-de-Siecle Writing 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArt in literature 606 $aArt and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArt in literature. 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory. 676 $a823.8 700 $aDelyfer$b Catherine.$01482491 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781750003321 996 $aArt and womanhood in fin-de-siecle writing$93700156 997 $aUNINA
