+ Want to read

"As much as 15 per cent of the essays in Victorian periodicals were written by women, yet even the best of these pieces were allowed by the male-dominated world of scholarship to disappear from print. This anthology makes available again some of the best Victorian writing by women." "The second edition has been revised and updated; additions include a chronology and an essay by Frances Power Cobbe on the education of women."—BOOK JACKET.
