'The book's arguments are clear and forceful. The recovery of reverse imperial ethnography adds historical depth to treatments of race in London that too often begin with materials published after the Second World War. The book will be of interest to a wide variety of readers, from academic specialists in modernism, British literature, women's literature, and postcolonial literature and to advanced students in courses on British modernism, literature and the city, and women's writing.' Michael Thurston, Smith College, Massachusetts 'This is a well-conceived and deftly executed analysis of women's changing position in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century London, as represented in a wide range of literary texts. It offers useful new methodologies for literary study, drawing particularly on new scholarly approaches in feminist geography and digital humanities, and is fresh and original in its insights.' Lise Sanders, Hampshire College, Massachusetts 'Everyone loves a book with maps. Evans has mapped out sites of narrative significance in Henry James' The Princess Casamassima, Amy Levy's The Romance of a Shop, George Gissing's The Odd Women, H. G. Wells' Ann Veronica and Virginia Woolf's Night and Day.' Rebecca Bowler, Times Higher Education 'Evans contributes to the ongoing debate on the nature and definition, and quantity of modernisms, revealing 'overlooked commonalities' even between H. G. Wells and Virginia Woolf. In advancing her arguments, Evans employs maps, spatial theory and work from understudied colonial writers of colour who gazed with outsiders' eyes on the teeming imperial metropolis; and she asks us to re-examine literary scholarship with fresh eyes, too.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes).
