The years 1890-1945 saw an unprecedented outpouring of fiction
focused on British university life, much of it reflecting the
drastic change that had swept through the higher education system
in the late nineteenth century. Among these narratives, a
significant subgroup focused on the lives of women students, newly
admitted to the structures of higher education system, their
presence still stridently, and sometimes even violently, opposed,
especially at Oxbridge. These novels and short stories collected
here, largely unknown today, were widely discussed and debated in
the public sphere during the early twentieth century, contributing
not only to the formation of public knowledge and opinion about
education through cultural figures like the 'Girton Girl' or the
'undergraduette,' but also sparking debate about many wider social
and cultural issues, from the place of the women writer in the
literary scene to the emergence of new discourses around psychology
and the body. The majority have not been reprinted since their
original publication, and until now have been rarely available to
scholars. The publication of Women's University Narratives,
1890-1945, therefore, provides a major new resource for scholarship
in many areas, including women's studies, educational history, and
literary and cultural modernism.
