Women’s mobility as a lens on modernity

Covering novels by women writers from the 1850s through the 1930s, W. Parkins examines movement as a literary and cultural question. The study connects women’s presence in urban spaces and beyond to broader ideas of modernity, asking how mobility can register both expanded possibilities and constraints on women’s agency. Its historical span makes it a focused work of literary criticism on changing representations of the female subject across a period of major social transformation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and scholars of women’s writing
  • Readers interested in feminist literary criticism
  • Those studying modernity, cities, and mobility in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century fiction

Book overview

Analyzing novels by women writers from the 1850s to the 1930s, this book argues that representations of mobility offer a fruitful way to explore the location of women within modernity and, specifically, the opportunities for (or limitations on) women's agency in this period, considering the mobility of the female subject in the city and beyond.
