内容説明
The late nineteenth century saw the emergence of New Woman fiction, a genre of writing which sought to challenge traditional Victorian conceptions of the role of women and promote their independence, education and political participation. This collection brings together important examples of New Woman fiction, each of which helped to crystallise the idea of the New Woman - as an educated, politically aware and independent individual - during the early years of the suffragette movement. The book will be of interest to students of the suffragette movement, as well as to those interested in the history of feminism more generally.

- Annie E Holdsworth 'Joanna Traill, Spinster' (1893) edited by SueAnn Schatz. Volume 6 Netta Syrett Nobody's Fault (1896) and The Sheltering Tree (1939) edited by Vybarr Cregan-Reid This second part of New Woman Fiction covers three texts from the 1890s. These works helped to crystallize the idea of the 'New Woman' during a period where the role of women was increasingly debated and challenged, not least due to the growth of the suffrage movement. The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective (1894) by C L Pirkis is a collection of seven stories about a female investigator. Not only is Brooke one of the first female detectives, but unlike other contemporary women sleuths, she is shown to be an independent career woman, and not driven to her cause by the need to redeem a male relative's honour. The stories' significance lies not merely in the influence they had over later female detectives, but also in Brooke's triumphs over gender stereotypes and expectations. Annie E Holdsworth's 1895 novel The Years that the Locust Hath Eaten tells the story of a young writer who avoids an arranged marriage with a landed gentleman by marrying the son of a country merchant, against her father's wishes. The novel is a critique of middle-class marriage and offers a wider look at the intricacies of the British class system. Nobody's Fault (1896) is the first novel of Netta Syrett. A fin de siecle re-writing of two more cautiously feminist works (Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility and Dinah Craik's Olive) the novel recounts the different lives of two friends from differing social backgrounds. Their contrasting circumstances and the opportunities that these afford allow questions about economics to enter the feminist debate.
