The aesthetic movement dominated the closing decades of the nineteenth century. It was significant for the role women played in it at a time when there were growing opportunities for them, both artistically and professionally. The material in this collection provides a representative selection of essays, fiction, poetry and drama by female authors, including Violet Fane, Agnes Garrett and Rhoda Broughton. The collection provides a useful resource for students of nineteenth century art, literature, gender studies and history.
'brings together often hard to find but brilliant writings ... It is organized into judicious, chronological categories with excellent introductions. Given our expanding interest in the fin-de-siecle, this series deserves attention.' Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 '[The three volumes] are a timely anthology of poetry, drama, short stories, extracts from novels and aesthetic theories.' Times Literary Supplement 'The editors have done an extraordinary job compiling rare, out-of-print texts ... this is a tremendous achievement.' SHARP News
