This book provides a critical reconsideration of nineteenth-century
women's writing by exploring the significance of antifeminist
representations for literary developments in the century's second
half. It seeks to draw new attention to still neglected authors and
works, while suggesting that their reappraisal at once demands and
helps to facilitate a more encompassing rethinking of a number of
long neglected writers and their still underestimated contribution
to Victorian literary culture. Their changing classification, their
marginalisation within canon formation, and most importantly, their
resistance to simplifications suggested by these shifting
categorisations prompts us to break out of such ideological
straightjackets ourselves. In analysing a range of material that
testifies to the wide spectrum, versatility, and reflexive
interchanges of popular Victorian fiction, the essays in this
collection work together to interrogate the significance of these
still neglected works for the development of the novel genre.This
collection makes an important contribution to the study of
Victorian literature and especially of recently rediscovered
popular writers. It will be of interest to literary critics and
students working on the formation of the novel genre in general as
well as on nineteenth-century culture more specifically.
