This new collection from Routledge and Edition Synapse provides
the documentary backdrop to this growing critical interest in
anti-feminism. Based on the premise that to understand the social
and intellectual context of the women's movement and feminism, it
is crucial that all contributions to the debate be explored, and
not just those of the ?winning side?, the collection meets an
urgent need to restore to the historical record a sense of how
feminism was a deeply marginalized position, and to remember that
anti-feminism in many cases better represents public opinion
concerning the gender politics of the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries.
This collection of primary sources examines literary and cultural
criticism over the long nineteenth century. Volume I of 4, explores
the subjects of life-writing, including biography, autobiography,
diaries, and letters. This volume will be of great interest to
students of literary history.
One of the foremost writers of her time, Harriet Martineau
established her reputation by writing a hugely successful series of
fictional tales on political economy whose wide readership included
the young Queen Victoria. She went on to write fiction and
nonfiction; books, articles and pamphlets; popular travel books and
more insightful analyses. Martineau wrote in the middle decades of
the nineteenth century, at a time when new disciplines and areas of
knowledge were being established. Bringing together scholars of
literature, history, economics and sociology, this volume
demonstrates the scope of Martineau's writing and its importance to
nineteenth-century politics and culture. Reflecting Martineau's
prodigious achievements, the essays explore her influence on the
emerging fields of sociology, history, education, science,
economics, childhood, the status of women, disability studies,
journalism, travel writing, life writing and letter writing. As a
woman contesting Victorian patriarchal relations, Martineau was
controversial in her own lifetime and has still not received the
recognition that is due her. This wide-ranging collection confirms
her place as one of the leading intellectuals, cultural theorists
and commentators of the nineteenth century.

This four volume collection of primary sources examines literary
and cultural criticism over the long nineteenth century. The
volumes explore the subjects of life-writing, including biography,
autobiography, diaries, and letters, drama criticism, the
periodical and newspaper press, and criticism written by women.
This collection will be of great interest to students of literary
history.
This anthology brings together for the first time a collection of
autobiographical accounts of their childhood by a range of
prominent nineteenth-century literary women. These are strongly
individualised descriptions by women who breached the cultural
prohibitions against self writing, especially in the attention
given to psychologically formative incidents and memories. Several
offer detailed accounts of their inadequate schooling and their
keen hunger for knowledge: others give new insights into the
dynamics of Victorian family life, especially relationships with
parents and siblings, the games they invented, and their sense of
being misunderstood. Most contributors vividly describe their fears
and fantasies, together with obsessive religious practices, and the
development of an inner life as a survival strategy. This
collection makes vital out-of-print material available to scholars
working in the field of women's autobiography, the history of
childhood, and Victorian literature. The volume will also appeal to
general readers interested in biography, autobiography, the history
of family life, education, and women's writing: read alongside
Victorian women's novels it offers an intriguing commentary on some
of their key themes.
In this sequel to her 2000 anthology, Valerie Sanders again brings
together an influential group of women whose autobiographical
accounts of their childhoods show them making sense of the children
they were and the women they have become. The fourteen women
included juxtapose recollections of the bizarre with the quotidian
and accounts of external events with the development of a complex
inner life. Reading and acting are important themes, as is the
precariousness of childhood, whether occasioned by a father's
financial pressures or the early death of a parent. Significantly,
most grew up expecting to earn their own living. The collection
includes children's authors (Frances Hodgson Burnett and E.
Nesbit), political figures (Emmeline Pankhurst and Louisa Twining),
and well-known writers (Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Anne Thackeray
Ritchie, Sarah Grand). Of relevance to scholars working in the
fields of women's autobiography, the history of childhood, and
Victorian literature, this anthology includes a scholarly
introduction and brief biographical sketches of each woman.
Margaret Oliphant (1828-97) had a prolific literary career that
spanned almost fifty years. She wrote some 98 novels, fifty or more
short stories, twenty-five works of non-fiction, including
biographies and historic guides to European cities, and more than
three hundred periodical articles. This is the most ambitious
critical edition of her work.

This is the most ambitious scholarly critical edition of Oliphant's
work ever undertaken. The sheer scale of her output has meant that
selection is essential, but the edition aims to convey the range
and variety of her work in both fiction and non-fictional genres.
It will bring together for the first time her critical writing and
other journalism for Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, the Spectator,
the St James's Gazette, as well as her articles in the Contemporary
Review, the Edinburgh, and Macmillan's Magazine. Much of her
fiction, including full length novels, short stories and novellas,
was first published in periodicals: in Blackwood's, the Cornhill,
Longman's Magazine, Macmillan's, and Good Words. Few of her
manuscripts survive, but substantive textual work remains to be
done on the editorial changes made between periodical serialization
and first appearance in volume form. The edition will place
particular emphasis on her shorter fiction, much of which will be
reprinted for the first time, and on her work as a biographer,
historian, and literary historian.

Margaret Oliphant Wilson Oliphant (1828-97) had a wide-ranging and
prolific literary career that spanned almost fifty years. She wrote
some 98 novels, over fifty short stories, twenty-five works of
non-fiction, including biographies and historic guides to European
cities, and more than three hundred periodical articles. As the
self-styled 'general utility woman' for Blackwood's Edinburgh
Magazine, often contributing both fiction and literary reviews to
the same issue, she became a major critical voice for her
generation. Her influence, usually cast on the side of 'the common
reader', was such that it provoked fellow novelists such as Anthony
Trollope, Henry James and Thomas Hardy to savage fictional
portraits by way of retaliation. The scholarly interest that her
work now receives is hampered by difficulty in accessing the full
range of her oeuvre: whilst her most famous fictional series, 'The
Chronicles of Carlingford', together with a handful of her tales of
the supernatural, have gone in and out of print in recent years,
the bulk of her fiction and critical writing remains uncollected.

Throughout her fifty-year career, Harriet Martineau's prolific
literary output was matched only by her exchanges with a range of
high-profile British, American and European correspondents. This
set focuses on the letters written by Martineau, contextualising
the correspondence through annotation of the highest standard.

This study focuses on the work of four Victorian anti-feminist
women writers - Eliza Lynn Linton, Charlotte M. Yonge, Mrs Humphry
Ward, and Margaret Oliphant - examining their self-contradictory
responses to the debate about women's role in family life and
society. Individual chapters review women's anti-feminism from
1792-1850, and fresh readings of their best-known novels emphasize
the inconsistencies of their masculine and feminine ideals.

Examining Victorian middle-class fatherhood from the fathers' own
perspective, Valerie Sanders dismantles the persistent stereotype
of the nineteenth-century paterfamilias by focusing on the intimate
family lives of influential public men. Beginning with Prince
Albert as a high-profile patriarchal role-model, and comparing the
parallel case histories of prominent Victorians such as Dickens,
Darwin, Huxley and Gladstone, the book explores the strains on men
in public life as they managed their private relationship with
their children and found a language for the expression of their
pleasure, grief and anxiety as fathers. In a context of cultural
uncertainty about the legal rights and moral responsibilities of
fatherhood, the study draws on a wealth of unpublished journals and
letters to show how conscientious Victorian fathers in effect
invented a meaningful domestic role for themselves which has been
little understood.
