Women's University Narratives, 1890-1945, Part II: Volume II (Routledge Historical Resources)

The years 1890-1945 saw an unprecedented outpouring of fiction focused on British university life, a significant subgroup focused on the lives of women students, newly admitted to the structures of higher education system. The novels and short stories collected here were widely discussed in the public sphere during the early twentieth century sparking debate about many wider social and cultural issues. The majority have not been reprinted since their original publication, and until now have been rarely available to scholars. These volumes therefore, provide a major new resource for scholarship in women's studies, educational history, and literary and cultural modernism.
