Rebel Women: Feminism, Modernism and the Edwardian Novel Miller Jane Eldridge
With the rise of women's suffrage, challenges to marriage and divorce laws, and expanding opportunities for education and employment for women, the early years of the twentieth century were a time of social revolution. The original and provocative novels that resulted depict the experiences of modern women with unprecedented variety, specificity, and frankness. Examining British novels written in 1890-1914, Jane Eldridge Miller demonstrates how these social, legal, and economic changes rendered the traditional narratives of romantic desire and marital closure inadequate, forcing Edwardian novelists to counter the limitations and ideological implications of those narratives with innovative strategies.
"Miller's is the best account we have, not only of Rebel Women is a major re-evaluation of Edwardian fiction and a significant contribution to literary history and criticism.
