Review

"Subtitled (like Jane Eyre) 'An Autobiography' and startlingly frank about women's erotic desire and claims for independence when it was published in 1867, Rhoda Broughton's Cometh Up as a Flower has been undeservedly ignored ever since. Broadview's textually responsible new edition, with footnotes to explain the narrator's sometimes-racy slang, will absorb readers and provide a welcome resource for scholars."--Sally Mitchell
