Threshold Modernism
Threshold Modernism reveals how changing ideas about gender and race in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain shaped - and were shaped by - London and its literature. Chapters address key sites, especially department stores, women's clubs, and city streets, that coevolved with controversial types of modern women. Interweaving cultural history, narrative theory, close reading, and spatial analysis, Threshold Modernism considers canonical figures such as George Gissing, Henry James, Dorothy Richardson, H. G. Wells, and Virginia Woolf alongside understudied British and colonial writers including Amy Levy, B. M. Malabari, A. B. C. Merriman-Labor, Duse Mohamed Ali, and Una Marson. Evans argues that these diverse authors employed the 'new public women' and their associated spaces to grapple with widespread cultural change and reflect on the struggle to describe new subjects, experiences, and ways of seeing in appropriately novel ways. For colonial writers of color, those women and spaces provided a means through which to claim their own places in imperial London.

Words of Wisdom from Mrs. Elizabeth Evans
Mrs. Elizabeth was a prominent woman in the community and she had an inner beauty that was down-to-earth. The first year gives a vivid account of the spiteful events and the deceptions and misperceptions of the lives of some of the people that caused so much religious confusion and the disintegration of their Christianity. The actions, attitudes, behavior, and conduct of the Christian people stand out boldly. Mrs. Elizabeth who was so very "affectionately" and so very "lovingly" called (Mrs. Sweetin) and the extraordinary faithful, holy, and humble life that she lived made an indelible impression and had a very wonderful impact on the lives of so many people in this contemporary world of confusion. Mrs. Elizabeth has gone to "sleep" in the loving and protective arms of the Lord but she was known as an extraordinary woman who faithfully and obediently served the Lord with all of her heart. Although nine years have already passed, the people in the community have not forgotten the great and powerful influence of a very "Powerful Praying Woman of God" who is very much missed and who was thought to be a "Prayer Warrior."
