About this title

Review:

"This definitive edition of Marcella includes an excellent set of contextual materials on its author's biography, on contemporary responses to the novel, on late-Victorian socialism and social work, on the 'New Woman, ' and on nurses and nursing. Mary Augusta Ward was one of the most popular and thoughtful novelists of her time, so this new edition of her fourth novel is a great resource for readers interested in Victorian literature and culture, or just interested in good fiction."--Patrick Brantlinger
