Description

A cultural icon of the fin de siecle , the New Woman was not one figure, but several. In the guise of a bicycling, cigarette-smoking Amazon, the New Woman romped through the pages of Punch and popular fiction; as a neurasthenic victim of social oppression, she suffered in the pages of New Woman novels such as Sarah Grand's hugely successful The Heavenly Twins . The New Woman in Fiction and Fact marks a radically new departure in nineteenth-century scholarship to explore the polyvocal nature of the late Victorian debates around gender, motherhood, class, race and imperialism which converged in the name of the New Woman.

Reviews
'...extremely welcome and useful...This fine collection will be an asset to both teachers and researchers, and its wide range of sources and arguments make it a perfect text...propel New Woman studies into another new century.' - Thomas Hardy Journal 'Essential reading for anyone interested in the late Victorian period.' - Nineteenth-Century Feminisms '...in a rich variety of discussions of British literature, politics and aesthetics at the fin de siecle, this collection reminds us once more, in the words of Rita Felski, of women's central importance in the analysis of modernity.'... - Times Literary Supplement '...a valuable resource for late Victorian studies and a pleasure to peruse.' - Patricia Murphy, Victorian Studies

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
