Victorian literature has been an important critical focus for
feminist scholarship, but feminist criticism has also established
its own canon of central authors-most frequently focusing on the
rich accomplishments of Emily Bront', Charlotte Bront', and George
Eliot, and the disappointments of Charles Dickens and Henry James.
This collection of essays expands the canon to include works not
frequently accorded attention either in literary criticism broadly
conceived, or in feminist literary scholarship.
The book includes essays on writers from the 1840s to the 1890s,
investigating some authors in whom readers are already interested
(Anne Bront', Wilkie Collins, Bram Stoker), and those to whom they
wish to gain access (Geraldine Jewsbury, Charles Reade, Margaret
Oliphant, George Moore, Sarah Grand, Mary Ward, and others). The
essays explore important thematic concerns: the relation between
private and public realms, gender and social class, sexuality and
the marketplace, and male and female cultural identity.
This collection facilitates interpretation of key underread texts
for scholars who seek new information and insights. Additionally,
the biographical headnote and brief bibliographic survey that
accompany each essay are helpful to students and teachers of
19th-century literature, feminist literature and criticism, and
cultural studies. Most importantly, the volume offers a richer
conception of 19th-century literature and thus contributes both to
literary history and classroom instruction.
