- This complex interdisciplinary monograph draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including novels, short stories, auto/biographies, feminist polemic, medical texts, advice literature and articles from the periodical press. It offers cutting-edge analysis of the work of both canonical and popular women writers, including Elizabeth Gaskell, Virginia Woolf, Annie Holdsworth and Clemence Dane. As works by some of these lesser-known texts are now out of print, the project involved five years of archival research. It situates women’s writing in its historical contexts, identifying and analysing developments and continuities between Victorian and modernist representations of the odd woman.
