Half Savage and Hardy and Free

Women and Rural Radicalism in the Nineteenth Century Novel

Author: Judith Weissman
ISBN: 0819551791

'A+ new and possibly important feminist viewpoint, and although rural networks of support among women may not be easily reestablished, women might do well to look to rural communities as real alternatives to the stresses of city living. How modern women can return to a rural community and establish financial and spiritual independence... cannot be answered in...a study of the nineteenth-century novel. Nor should it be. It is enough that Weissman has sown the seed.' --Jacquelin Eis, The Georgia Review
