The Fallen Woman in the Nineteenth-Century English Novel (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A sympathetic view of the fallen women in Victorian England begins in the novel. First published in 1984, this book shows that the fallen woman in the nineteenth-century novel is, amongst other things, a direct response to the new society. Through the examination of Dickens, Gaskell, Collins, Moore, Trollope, Gissing and Hardy, it demonstrates that the fallen woman is the first in a long line of sympathetic creations which clash with many prevailing social attitudes, and especially with the supposedly accepted dichotomy of the 'two women'.

This book will be of interest to students of nineteenth-century literature and women in literature.
