Elizabeth Glen. M. B
Excerpt from Elizabeth Glen. M. B: The Experiences of a Lady Doctor Presently I laid down the paper, and gazing intently into the fire, ruminated upon a matter which was troubling me considerably - the choice of a subject It was not that I lacked material; the point was to find something at once personal and interesting. Sitting there, in Dr. Glen's own chair, the intuition I had so longed for came to me. I would ask her permission to record her experiences. Many of them I knew, some of them I had shared. My mind Was illumined by this brilliant idea when I heard her latchkey in the door, and her firm but light foot coming towards the room where I sat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publ...

The Doctor in the Victorian Novel
With the character of the doctor as her subject, Tabitha Sparks follows the decline of the marriage plot in the Victorian novel. As Victorians came to terms with the scientific revolution in medicine of the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the novel's progressive distance from the conventions of the marriage plot can be indexed through a rising identification of the doctor with scientific empiricism. A narrative's stance towards scientific reason, Sparks argues, is revealed by the fictional doctor's relationship to the marriage plot. Thus, novels that feature romantic doctors almost invariably deny the authority of empiricism, as is the case in George MacDonald's Adela Cathcart. In contrast, ...
A Magazine of Her Own?
Like the corset, the women's magazines which emerged in the nineteenth century produced a `natural' idea of femininity: the domestic wife; the fashionable woman; the romancing and desirable girl. Their legacy, from agony aunts to fashion plates, are easily traced in their modern counterparts. But do these magazines and their promises empower or disempower their readers? A Magazine of Her Own? is a lively and revealing exploration of this immensely popular form from its beginnings. In fascinating detail Margaret Beetham investigates the desires, images and interpretations of femininity posed by a medium whose readership was and still is almost exclusively female. A Magazine of Her Own is at once a chronological tracing of the history, a collection of intriguing case studies and an intervention into recent debates about gender and sexuality in popular reading. It is a book which anyone who is interested in the unique, influential world of the woman's magazine - students, scholars and general readers alike - will want to read
