Women Writing the Neo-Victorian Novel: Erotic "Victorians" focuses
on the work of British, Irish, and Commonwealth women writers such
as A.S. Byatt, Emma Donoghue, Sarah Waters, Helen Humphreys,
Margaret Atwood, and Ahdaf Soueif, among others, and their attempts
to re-envision the erotic. Kathleen Renk argues that women writers
of the neo-Victorian novel are far more philosophical in their
approach to representing the erotic than male writers and draw more
heavily on Victorian conventions that would proscribe the graphic
depiction of sexual acts, thus leaving more to the reader's
imagination. This book addresses the following questions: Why are
women writers drawn to the neo-Victorian genre and what does this
reveal about the state of contemporary feminism? How do classical
and contemporary forms of the erotic play into the ways in which
women writers address the Victorian "woman question"? How exactly
is the erotic used to underscore women's creative potential?
