The Female Figure in Contemporary Historical Fiction

By Emma Short

Book Overview

From The Other Boleyn Girl to Fingersmith, this collection explores the popularity of female-centred historical novels in recent years. It asks how these representations are influenced by contemporary gender politics, and whether they can be seen as part of a wider feminist project to recover women's history.
