Reviews
This excellent edition of The Story of an African Farm allows us to read the novel in its important social, political, and literary contexts. Along with its thorough overview of the novel's place in turn-of-the-century views on gender and race, the text's introduction contributes a long-overdue focus on Schreiner and Victorian political economy. Readers will value the extensive appendices, which allow us to see the novel not only as an innovative narrative but also as a key intervention in social, political, and religious debates that affected Britain and its empire. This edition is an important achievement.

Synopsis
The Story of an African Farm(1883) marks an early appearance in fiction of Victorian society's emerging New Woman. The novel follows the spiritual quests of Lyndall and Waldo, who each struggle against social constraints in their search for happiness and truth: Lyndall, against society's expectations of women, and Waldo against stifling class conventions. Written from the margins of the British empire, the novel addresses the conflicts of race, class, and gender that shaped the lives of European settlers in Southern Africa before the Boer Wars. This Broadview edition includes appendices that link the novel to histories of empire and colonialism, the emergence of the New Woman, and the conflicts between science and religion in the Victorian period. Contemporary reviews are also included., "This excellent edition allows us to read The Story of an African Farm in its important social, political, and literary contexts. It is an important achievement." -- Paula M. Krebs, Wheaton College

- *****- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufSleaze paperback was great, a real beauty, as described... But packaging was minimal in a bubble sleeve, not enough for a $100 book. Still - it got here in one piece.Antwort von generalbearskin- Verkäufer generalbearskin hat auf Bewertung reagiert.- Verkäufer generalbearskin hat auf Bewertung reagiert.Thanks for the helpful feedback.
