Product Description

Review

"...the best single study of the author to appear since her death in 1920."--Daryl Ogden, Victorian Studies
"Burdett puts Schreiner's work into their full contexts, reading with precision, coherence, and generosity and providing an emotionally and intellectually vigorous portrait."-- Choice

Product Description

Olive Schreiner and The Progress of Feminism explores two key areas: the debates taking place in England during the last two decades of the 19th century about the position of women and the volatile events of the 1890s in South Africa, which culminated in war between the British empire and the Boer republics in 1899. Through a detailed reading of fictional and non-fictional writing of one extraordinary woman, Olive Schreiner, the book traces the complex relations between gender and empire in a modern world.
