Improper Feminine: Women's Sensation Novel and the New Woman Writing Book

The `Improper' Feminine is an exploration of two revolutionary genres, the Women's Sensation novel of the 1860s and the New Woman fiction of the 1890s. This new brand of women's popular literature, with its shocking heroines, fired the popular imagination by putting female sexuality on the literary agenda and undermining the feminine ideal.This book investigated the nature of the eruption of the "feminine" in the popular novel. Examining its contemporary cultural significance, Pykett draws attention to important gendered interrelationships within the literary and wider cultures of mid-Victorian and fin-de-siecle periods.The first comparative analysis of two key feminist genres, The Improper Feminine will be of interest to students of feminist theory, Victorian literature and culture.Read More
