"The Cambridge Companion to Victorian Women's Writing brings together chapters by
leading scholars to provide innovative and comprehensive coverage of Victorian women
writers' careers and literary achievements. While incorporating the scholarly insights
of modern feminist criticism, it also reflects new approaches to women authors that
have emerged with the rise of book history; periodical studies; performance studies;
post-colonial studies; and scholarship on authorship, readership, and publishing.
It traces the Victorian woman writer's career-from making her debut to working with
publishers and editors to achieving literary fame-and challenges previous thinking
about genres in which women contributed with success. Chapters on poetry, including
a discussion of poetry in colonial and imperial contexts, reveal women's engagements
with each other and male writers. Discussions on drama, life-writing, reviewing, history,
travel writing, and children's literature uncover the remarkable achievement of women
in fields relatively unknown"
