This book provides an approach to the lives, thought and works of the four most important English women novelists of the mid-to-late-19th century. Seen against the background of a dramatically changing world in which they grew up as contemporaries, their attitudes to such vital issues as religion, the child, the woman question , love and sexuality, the self, and death, are examined in depth, both as they were expressed privately and as portrayed in their work. There emerges a picture of an intellectual and literary relationship that was destined to play a challenging and significant part in the development of the English novel.
