Description
This title was first published in 2000. Rosa Nouchette Carey (1840-1909), the English author of forty-one domestic novels, was continuously in print from 1868 until at least 1924 and yet she is virtually unknown today. This first in-depth study of Careys work assesses both her immense popularity and her subsequent fall from favour. Organized thematically, it engages with the historical and cultural context of the novels as well as comparing them with the work of Careys contemporaries. Matters such as Careys creative response towards spinsterhood, her provision of vicarious male approval and her valorization of housework are perceived as functions of her writing that lie beyond formal literary criticism.
