- Description
- Onderzoek naar de kijk van Britse schrijfsters, zowel van fictie als van poëzie, op de Industriële Revolutie en het industrialisatieproces. Deze kijk blijkt af te wijken van die van hun mannelijke collega's. Aandacht wordt o.m. besteed aan de houding van de middenklasse, (beeldvorming rond) fabrieken, de ideologie van huiselijkheid en gezinsleven. Ook teksten van de werkende klasse en in dialect en commerciële literatuur zijn in de studie opgenomen. Aandacht voor het werk van o.m. Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, Frances Trollope, Charlotte Tonna, Ellen Johnston en Fanny Forrester.

- Description
- Patricia Zakreski's study draws on fiction, prose, painting, and the periodical press to expand and redefine women's relationship to paid work during the Victorian period. While the idea of 'separate spheres' has largely gone uncontested by feminist critics studying female labour during the nineteenth century, Zakreski challenges this distinction by showing that the divisions between public and private were surprisingly flexible, with homes described as workplaces and workplaces as homes. By combining art with forms of industrial or mass production in representations of the respectable woman worker, writers projected a form of paid creative work that was not violated or profaned by the public world of the market in which it was traded. Looking specifically at sewing, art, writing, and acting, Zakreski shows how these professions increasingly came to be defined as 'artistic' and thus as suitable professions for middle-class women. Rather than consigning working women to the margins of patriarchal culture. Her study shows how representations of creative women, by authors such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Dinah Craik, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and Charlotte Yonge, participated in and shaped new forms of mainstream culture.

- Description
- Can there be a flaneuse, and what form might she take? This is the central question of Streetwalking the Metropolis, a contribution to ongoing debates on the city and modernity in which Deborah Parsons re-draws the gendered map of urban modernism. Assessing the cultural and literary history of the concept of the flaneur, the urban observer/writer traditionally gendered as masculine, the author advances critical space for the discussion of a female 'flaneuse', focused around a range of women writers from the 1880s to World War Two. Cutting across period boundaries, this wide-ranging study offers stimulating accounts of works by writers including Amy Levy, Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, Rosamund Lehmann, Jean Rhys, Janet Flanner, Djuna Barnes, Anais Nin, Elizabeth Bowen and Doris Lessing, highlighting women's changing relationship with the social and psychic spaces of the city, and drawing attention to the ways in which the perceptions and experiences of the street are translated into the dynamics of literary texts.
