Creative negativity : four Victorian exemplars of the female quest

Author:	Carol Hanbery MacKay
Publisher:	Stanford, Calif. : Stanford University Press, 2001.
Edition/Format:	Print book : Biography : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Focusing on the early Modern and Victorian periods, the author finds covert revolutionaries in four female practioners of a strategy she calls creative negativity. She opens up for inspection the lives and creative endeavors of poet-photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879), novelist-essayist Anne Thackeray Ritchie (1837-1919), activist-spiritual leader Annie Besant (1847-1933), and actress-writer Elizabeth Robins (1862-1952)." "As she explores the interacting elements of creative negativity that their work exemplifies, the author demonstrates how the artistic and performative techniques employed by the four women provide them with the rhetorical tools with which they can construct, take apart, and reconstruct themselves. This uniquely interactive response propels the women through their successful enactments of the female quest." "Overall, this book provides a working model for seeing how a covert feminism operated during a key period of history."--Jacket.  Read more...
