Feminine Subjects in Masculine Fiction: Modernity, Will and Desire, 1870-1910

By Meredith Miller

Book Overview

Between 1870 and 1910 male authors were actively engaged with imagining new possibilities for women, at the same time as the central female figure continued to function as a troubling and unreachable object of aesthetic desire. This book examines these inscrutable female characters who were the ground on which fiction reinvented itself as Art.
