Whether writing from a specific location or focusing upon a particular geographical or imaginary place, women writers working between 1850 and 1950 valued a space of their own' in which to work. The period on which this collection focuses straddles two main areas of study, nineteenth century writing and early twentieth century/modernist writing, so it enables discussion of how ideas of space progressed alongside changes in styles of writing. It looks to the many ways women writers explored concepts of space and place and how they expressed these through their writings, for example how they interpreted both urban and rural landscapes and how they presented domestic spaces. A Space of Their Own will be of interest to those studying Victorian literature and modernist works as it covers a period of immense change for women's rights in society. It is also not limited to just one type or definition of space'. Therefore, it may also be of interest to academics outside of literature - for example, in gender studies, cultural geography, place writing and digital humanities. 545 0 $a Katie Baker was awarded a PhD in English Literature from the University of Chester in 2018.
