The women's sensation novel of the 1860s and the New Woman fiction
of the 1890s were two major examples of a perceived feminine
invasion of fiction which caused a critical furore in their day.
Both genres, with their shocking, `fast' heroines, fired the
popular imagination by putting female sexuality on the literary
agenda and undermining the `proper feminine' ideal to which
nineteenth-century women and fictional heroines were supposed to
aspire. By exploring in impressive depth and breadth the material
and discursive conditions in which these novels were produced, The
`Improper' Feminine draws attention to key gendered
interrelationships within the literary and wider cultures of the
mid-Victorian and fin-de-diecle periods.
