Description
How did the Victorian woman cope with the image of herself as a writer?
What were the constraints on female friendships in a world centred on the pre-eminence of the husband?
How significant for an ambitious woman were her politics about men?
At the heart of this book, originally published in 1990, is a friendship between two women: Jane Carlyle and the novelist Geraldine Jewsbury. But it was a difficult friendship, and in its difficulty lies much that is illuminating: about nineteenth-century domestic ideology; about writing for a market, and female fame; and about the complex ambivalences between women.
Examining aspects of their lives, writing, and relationships, alongside those of two other writers - Felicia Hemans and Geraldine's sister, Maria Jane - Norma Clarke provides a subtle and illuminating discussion of the possibilities that were open to women in the Victorian age.
