Margaret Harkness is the first book to bring together research on
the life and work of a writer, activist and traveller at the
forefront of literary innovation and social change at the turn of
the twentieth century. Its multidisciplinary approach combines
recently uncovered biographical information with rich contextual
information to illuminate the extensive career of a writer
committed to exposing the exploitation of individuals and the
plight of marginalised communities worldwide. The critical essays
range from new considerations of Harkness's well-known novels to
examinations of lesser-known periodical fiction and journalism, her
relationship with contemporaries such as Olive Schreiner and W. T.
Stead, and her life and work abroad in Australia and India. The
book gives substance to women's social engagement and political
involvement in a period prior to their formal enfranchisement and
enriches understanding of the complex and dynamic world of the long
nineteenth century. -- .
