TY - GEN T1 - A literature of their own : British women novelists from Brontë to Lessing A1 - Showalter, Elaine LA - English PP - Princeton, N.J. PB - Princeton University Press YR - 1977 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_on1036553110 AB - A LITERATURE OF THEIR OWN quickly set the stage for the creative explosion of feminist literary studies that transformed the field in the 1980s. Launching a major new area for literary investigation, the book uncovered the long but neglected tradition of women writers and the development of their fiction from the 1800s onwards. It includes assessments of famous writers such as the Brontës, George Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Margaret Drabble and Doris Lessing, but also presents critical appraisals of Mary Braddon, Rhoda Broughton and Sarah Grand -- to name but a few of those prolific and successful Victorian novelists - --once household names, now largely forgotten.
