| Description: |
Focusing on the key late-19th-century discourses of feminism, prostitution, colonialism, science and evolution, this study explores, in depth, Olive Schreiner's achievement as a writer. |
| Synopsis: |
Olive Schreiner and the Progress of Feminism explores two key areas: first, the debates taking place in England during the last two decades of the nineteenth century about the position of women; and, second, the volatile events of the 1890s in South Africa, which culminated in war between the British Empire and the Boer republics in 1899. Through a detailed reading of the fictional and non-fictional writing of one extraordinary woman, Olive Schreiner, it traces the complex relations between gender and empire in a modernizing world. |
