The writings of Frances Trollope have been subject to increasing academic interest in recent years, and are now widely studied. This four-volume set includes scholarly editions of her four novels, in which her comical, yet subversive, treatment of Victorian marriage is an interesting contrast to some of the more earnest but conventional fiction of the time.
At the time of their reception all four novels were considered to be the most hilarious and beloved of Trollope’s works. In their satire of Victorian marriage, they challenged and complicated the normative practices of getting married, being married, and getting married again. Trollope’s creation of strong, independent, older women is an antidote to other Victorian novelists’ portrayal of widows and spinsters, and her novels challenge our understanding of the characteristics of the novels of the 1830s and 1840s, especially in their depiction of Victorian gender dynamics as well as their influence on succeeding novels.

This innovative new work presents a critical, aesthetic and historical approach to the significant novelist and critic Geraldine Endsor Jewsbury (1812-1880). / Jewsbury was a truly accomplished Victorian woman of letters. She wrote six novels, two novels for children, articles and short stories as well as innumerable book reviews and influential reports for publishers. Her work is being newly recovered by a new generation. / Her first two novels, Zoe: A History of Two Lives (1845) and The Half Sisters (1848), were best sellers, and considered scandalous when published. They, like all of her novels, concern the difficulties of women in traditional roles - the problems of careers for women, the deficiencies of education for women, women's unrealistic expectations of marriage, and their lack of satisfaction with their lives. / Active in London literary society, Jewsbury developed friendships with Charles Dickens, George Lewes, Thomas Henry Huxley, W. E. Forster, George Bentley, James Anthony Froude, Frances Power Cobbe, and John Ruskin, among others. Throughout her life Jewsbury carried on extensive correspondences with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, most famously with Jane Carlyle. Always an advocate for women's rights, she influenced the lives of women through her works and her personal and professional guidance, ultimately shaping the reading and thinking of women in her own and another generation. / Contents: Ch. 1: Introduction: Rediscovering Geraldine Jewsbury; Ch. 2: Early Influences: Becoming Geraldine Jewsbury; Ch.3: The Carlyles and Zoe: Discovering the World; Ch.4: Jewsbury's Career in Fiction: Educating Readers; Ch.5: Jane Carlyle, Walter Mantell, and Other Friendships: Developing Intimacies; Ch. 6: Jewsbury as a Reviewer and Editor: Forwarding the Cause of Women; Ch.7: Jewsbury as a Publisher's Reader: Reading for Women; Ch. 8: Jewsbury's Legacy: Jewsbury Today.
