The incursions of women into areas from which they had been
traditionally excluded, together with the literary representations
of their attempts to negotiate, subvert and appropriate these
forbidden spaces, is the underlying theme that unites this
collection of essays. Here scholars from Australia, Greece, Great
Britain, Spain, Switzerland and the United States reconsider the
well-entrenched assumptions associated with the public/private
distinction, working with the notions of public and private spheres
while testing their currency and exploring their blurred edges. The
essays cover and uncover a rich variety of spaces, from the slums
and court-rooms of London to the American wilderness, from the
Victorian drawing-room and sick-room to out of the ordinary places
like Turkish baths and the trenches of the First World War. Where
previous studies have tended to focus on a single aspect of women's
engagement with space, this edited book reveals a plethora of
subtle and tenacious strategies found in a variety of discourses
that include fiction, poetry, diaries, letters, essays and
journalism. Inside Out goes beyond the early work on artistic
explorations of gendered space to explore the breadth of the field
and its theoretical implications.
