This book is concerned with the fiction and drama of the period,
the poetry having been the subject of a separate book in the
Writers and their Work series. Chapter one provides an overview of
the women's movement between 1880-1919, and considers the diversity
of feminist and female identities and lifestyles. The second
chapter considers the representation of the woman artist in the
context of debates on literary value and its relationship to gender
and genre. Chapter three considers texts by a number of women
writers, including novels and short stories, with a focus on the
themes of motherhood, sexuality, eugenics, and imperialism. The
final chapter extends the fin de siecle period in order to look and
suffrage and other drama, with a focus on the leading woman
playwright of the Edwardian ere, Elizabeth Robbins. The dramatic
expression of themes addressed in the previous chapters is further
explored here, especially motherhood and the emergence of women
from sexual and domestic dependency.
