Cordell asserts that these revolutionary acts constitute a transatlantic conversation that ties together apparently disparate preoccupations with national identity, aesthetic practice and the question of creative ownership.
Traditional divisions between Victorian and American studies have largely dictated that these two groups of writers be treated as isolated entities. Given the robust exchange of texts and ideas across the Atlantic during the period, this division overlooks the lines of influence that emerged within a transnational reading public.
Fictions of Dissent draws on both women's studies and book history to bridge this gap, while at the same time remaining attentive to the specifics of national difference. By examining these concerns through the work of both familiar and relatively unfamiliar women writers and within texts that circulated across national borders, Cordell's work builds on and extends recent scholarship and reveals the ways in which New Women writers saw political and economic independence as being intertwined with artistic and narrative autonomy. 410 0$aGender and genre ;$vno. 4. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a823.8/099287 676 $a823.8099287 700 $aCordell$b Sigrid Anderson$01724424 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822735003321 996 $aFictions of dissent$94126535 997 $aUNINA
