A strikingly interdisciplinary figure in Victorian literary history, Grant Allen (1848-1899) has thus far managed to elude the focused scrutiny of contemporary scholarship. A central literary figure at the fin de siècle, Allen engaged with a span of literary and cultural concerns in the late-Victorian period, including feminism and the 'new woman', Darwinism and evolution, the politics of popular fiction, environmentalism, and aesthetics.

Grant Allen: Literature and Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle revisits the richly variegated profile of one of the most intriguing and significant polymaths of the turn of the century, recognizing his contribution to and influence on the key modernizing debates of the period.
