内容説明
From the late nineteenth century women began to enter British universities. Their numbers were small and their gains hard won and fiercely contested, yet they inspired a whole new genre of fiction. This collection of largely forgotten and rare texts forms a valuable primary resource for scholars of literature, social history and women's education.
目次
Part I Volume 1 General Introduction Select Bibliography Introduction A Brief Note on Editorial Practices In Statu Pupillari: A Story of Girls at College (1907): An early text describing student life in detail, which will have particular appeal for scholars of the long nineteenth century. Editorial Notes Volume 2 Introduction A Brief Note on Editorial Practices The Girls of Merton College (1914): One of the lesser-known texts by prolific nineteenth-century author L T Meade. Meade has received scholarly attention recently, especially by those researching gender studies. Merton is a particularly interesting text as it is set at Cambridge - the majority of women's university fiction is set at Oxford. It was originally written for a juvenile audience and will appeal to scholars of children's literature. Editorial Notes Volume 3 Introduction A Brief Note on Editorial Practices A College Girl (1913): First appeared in a periodical (Girls' Own Paper) and was written by Jessie Vaizey, a prolific school story author, of interest to scholars of public school fiction. The text itself is set at Cambridge and has a particularly interesting focus on chaperonage and courtship within an academic setting, making it of special interest to scholars of gender studies. Editorial Notes Volume 4 Introduction A Brief Note on Editorial Practices The Pearl (1917): Like A College Girl, this has one foot in the school story genre. This text focuses heavily on the subject of religion at Oxford and will be of interest to scholars looking at the gendering of religious practice and discourse, particularly in the long nineteenth century. The novel also has a connection to St. Hilda's College, Oxford, through its author G W Taylor, who was a student there, as was her writing partner, the historical novelist D K Broster.
