by Sue Brown
Part of the Anthem Nineteenth-Century Series series
Hardback
- Information
Description
Though Julia Wedgwood is still remembered as a commentator on the work of her uncle, Charles Darwin, and for her brief but intense friendship with Browning, her contemporary standing as a writer (“the thoughtful woman par excellence”) has been obscured as has her role in the pioneering days of women’s higher education and the first campaigns for female suffrage.
Based on her extensive correspondence and unusually wide-ranging work, this biography unites the private person and the public writer.
It also looks at her many relationships with leading Victorian cultural figures including not only Darwin and Browning but George Eliot, Mrs Gaskell, Harriet Martineau, Frances Power Cobbe, F.
D. Maurice, Richard Hutton, Arthur Munby and the young E.
M. Forster. It considers the challenges facing a single, deaf Victorian woman in establishing her own independent, but unconventional, life.
