'Ouida,' the pseudonym of Louise Rame (1839-1908), was one of the
most productive, widely-circulated and adapted of Victorian popular
novelists, with a readership that ranged from Vernon Lee, Oscar
Wilde and Ruskin to the nameless newspaper readers and subscribers
to lending libraries. Examining the range and variety of Ouida's
literary output, which includes journalism as well as fiction,
reveals her to be both a literary seismometer, sensitive to the
enormous shifts in taste and publication practices of the second
half of the nineteenth century, and a fierce protector of her
independent vision. This collection offers a radically new view of
Ouida, helping us thereby to rethink our perceptions of popular
women writers in general, theatrical adaptation of their fiction,
and their engagements with imperialism, nationalism and
cosmopolitanism. The volume's usefulness to scholars is enhanced by
new bibliographies of Ouida's fiction and journalism as well as of
British stage adaptations of her work.
