This five-volume series, British Women's Writing From Bronte to
Bloomsbury, 1840-1940, historically contextualizes and traces
developments in women's fiction from 1840 to 1940. 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.
