Description

Product Description This is a feminist study of a recurring character type in classic British detective fiction by women - a woman who behaves like a Victorian gentleman. Exploring this character type leads to a new evaluation of the politics of classic detective fiction and the middlebrow novel as a whole. Review 'The work of the five writers Schaub studies is not wholly conservative, but advances feminist assertion over the new woman fiction of the late Victorian period, giving success to the admittedly rare women able to reason and provide for themselves The study is well researched, well written, and readable.' M. S. Stephenson, University of Texas at Brownsville About the Author MELISSA SCHAUB is Associate Professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, USA. Her research focuses on literature by British women authors, particularly domestic, serial, and middlebrow novels. She teaches courses on British and women's literature, and especially enjoys introducing undergraduates to feminist readings of literature and history.
