商品簡介
The October 2006 gathering of the Victorian Institute, an international scholarly organization, was sited at a small women's college in Spartanburg, South Carolina that emphasizes liberal and fine arts. So it seemed appropriate to take gender as the central theme. American scholars of literature and a British art historian attended, and present 15 essays on such topics as George Eliot's Romola, feminist social reform and problems with patriarchy in Yonge's The Clever Woman of the Family, lying and the literacy of the heart in Gaskell's Sylvia's Lovers and Cousin Phillis, and reforming women's dress in Victorian England and America.
