Protest and Reform: The British Social Narrative by Women 1827-1867 (Routledge Library Editions: Women and Writing) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The social novel in 19th-century Britain has been considered the effort of a mostly male canon of writers. In this study, first published in 1985, Kestner challenges that assumption, arguing that it was female writers who initiated and advanced the tradition of using narrative fiction to register protest, expose abuses, and promote reform.
