Reviews

Corbett's meticulously researched study... locates influence socially as well as literarily, and details the societal changes wrought by the female Victorian writers... * Choice * In Behind the Times: Virginia Woolf in Late-Victorian Contexts, Mary Jean Corbett makes a nuanced contribution to the discussion by showing that Woolf's relationship with the Victorians was not a matter of periodicity but one of generation, attitude, and temperament. Well-written and well-informed, this book draws on the latest debates in Woolf scholarship concerning public life, political activism, the professions, and history, and it adds an important dimension to discussion of Woolf and the Victorians. * Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature *
