Bøger af Linda K. Hughes

Offers a new approach to the study of instalment literature by showing how it embodied a view of life intrinsic to Victorian culture, and suggesting that for the Victorians the publishing format became an essential factor in creating meaning.

Rosamund Marriott Watson was a gifted poet, an erudite literary and art critic, and a daring beauty whose life illuminates fin-de-siecle London. In Graham R., Linda K. Hughes traces the poet's development from accomplished ballads and sonnets, to avant-garde urban impressionism and New Woman poetry, to her anticipation of literary modernism.

Portrays an elusive and self-aware writer whose refusal to grant authority to a single perspective even while she recirculated the fundamental assumptions and debates of her era enabled her simultaneously to fulfil and deflect the expectations of the literary marketplace.
