This hugely popular novel (thirty editions, six  million copies sold) examines male and female sexuality, extending the  notion of New Woman feminism and proposing a new masculinity to match  it. Its transgressive interracial sexual and social relations are set in  a highly eroticized Indian landscape and against the rigidities of  Victorian imperialism. Anna Lombard challenges and subverts a wide range  of the most fiercely defended ideologies of its time. For modern  readers familiar with late Victorian conventions, it retains its power  to surprise and shock, and extends our knowledge and understanding of  the ways in which Victorian writers reflected and constructed social  attitudes. For all readers, then as now, it is mesmerisingly readable.  This new edition will extend understanding of women's writing of the  period, and introduces a new generation of readers to the work of a once  popular and continually engrossing novelist, Victoria Cross (a pen name  of Annie Sophie Cory).\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 February 2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780826481849\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e168\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.64\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515231109260,"sku":"9780826481849","price":40.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780826481849","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
