Elaine Lomax

The Writings of Hesba Stretton (eBook, ePUB)

Reclaiming the Outcast

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Highly respected as a writer by her contemporaries, Hesba Stretton (1832-1911) was a vigorous campaigner for the rights of oppressed minorities and a founding member of the London Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mining nineteenth-century periodicals and archival materials, Elaine Lomax explores the intersection of cultural and literary representations of the child with wider images of the colonized or excluded, and advances our understanding of the development of juvenile literature and women's writing.
