Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Synopsis: Popular novelist, female aesthete, Victorian radical and proto-modernist, Lucas Malet (Mary St. Leger Harrison, 1852-1931) was one of the most successful writers of her day, yet few of her remarkable novels remain in print. Malet was a daughter of the broad church priest and well-known Victorian author Charles Kingsley; her sister Rose, uncle, Henry Kingsley and her cousin Mary Henrietta Kingsley were also published authors. Malet was part of a creative dynasty from which she drew inspiration but against which she rebelled both in her personal life and her published work. This collection brings together for the first time a selection of scholarly essays on Malet s life and writing, foregrounding her contributions to nineteenth- and twentieth-century discourses surrounding disability, psychology, religion, sexuality, the New Woman, and decadent, aesthetic and modernist cultural movements. The essays contained in this volume explore Malet s authorial experience―from both within the mainstream of the British literary tradition and, curiously, from outside it―supplementing and nuancing current debates about fin-de-siècle women s writing. The collection asks the question who was Lucas Malet? and how―despite its popularity―did her courageous, unique and fascinating writing disappear from view for so long? About the Author: Jane Ford is a Lecturer in English Studies at Teesside University. She is a specialist in the literature and culture of the fin de siècle and she is currently completing a monograph which examines the complex network of metaphors that emerged around late-nineteenth-century conceptions of economic self-interest and exploitation. She is co-editor of Economies of Desire at the Victorian Fin de Siècle: Libidinal Lives (Routledge, 2016) and has published essays on Vernon Lee, Lucas Malet and Bertram Mitford. Alexandra Gray is a Visiting Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Portsmouth.

She has recently published her first monograph, Self-Harm in New Woman Writing (Edinburgh University Press, 2017), and has also written on the work of Irish New Woman, George Egerton, hyperhidrosis in fiction, and the orphan figure in Victorian literature and culture. She is a co-editor of The Gateless Barrier, an online impact project for the purposes of feminist literary recovery, featuring research on Lucas Malet s life and work.
