- Description
- Galia Ofek elucidates the historical, artistic, literary, and theoretical meanings of the Victorians' preoccupation with hair. Victorian writers and artists had a well-developed awareness of fetishism as an overinvestment of value in a specific body part and were fully cognizant of hair's symbolic resonance and its value as an object of commerce.They were increasingly alert to the symbolic significance of hairstyling. Among the writers and artists Ofek considers are Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot, Margaret Oliphant, Charles Darwin, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Eliza Lynn Linton, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Charles Dickens and Aubrey Beardsley. By examining fiction, poetry, anthropological and scientific works, correspondence, jewellery, paintings, and cartoons, Ofek shows how changing patterns of power relations between women and patriarchy are rendered anew when viewed through the lens of Victorian hair codes and imagery during the second half of the nineteenth century.

- Description
- This publication explores the cultural representation of the female critic in Victorian Britain, focusing especially on how women writers imagined themselves – in literary essays, periodical reviews, and even works of fiction - as participants in complex networks of literary exchange. This study begins by looking at the eighteenth century, and examines a series of case studies that illuminate how women writers engaged with the forms of intellectual sociability that defined nineteenth-century criticism - including critical dialogue, the club, the salon, and the publishing firm.

- Description
- The authors argue that Sinclair, pseudonym of Mary Amelia St. Clair (1862-1946), embodied the contradictions of her era: both Victorian and modern time. By examining Sinclair's writings they engage with the cultural and literary phenomena Sinclair herself criqued and influenced: the evolving literary marketplace, changing sexual and social mores, developments in the fields of psychology, the women's suffrage movement, and World War I. Through her writing Sinclair was connected with authors such as James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Ford Madox Ford, Charlotte Mew and Dorothy Richardson.

- Description
- This study considers the ways in which women poets, biographers, and historians used medieval motifs and settings to enable them to comment on controversial contemporary issues. The authors' discussion focuses on women working during the socio-political and religious upheaval of the nineteenth century and mines the poetry of Felicia Hemans, Letitia Landon, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning: portrayals of Joan of Arc and Guinevere in art and literature: and non-fiction sources such as women's letters and diaries during the Napoleonic and Crimean Wars.
