商品描述
This book explores the representation of the first generations of women who studied at Oxford and Cambridge in popular fiction of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Familiarly termed "Girton Girls", these women were depicted as intent on overthrowing the ancient universities and, by extension, English society. This study argues that the powerful and influential vision of the Oxbridge woman was both exploited and expanded in novels of the time. It shows that this fiction offers not only an informed critical view of this simultaneously anxiety ridden and intermittently hopeful period of English life between 1880 and 1914, but also reveals popular fiction's underexplored contribution to the move towards Modernist themes and literary techniques. The book posits that the Girton Girl was not simply a bit part in the sub-genre of the "university novel" or even within the confines of the New Woman fiction, but rather her character was rich and malleable enough to animate a variety of plots that respond to readers' burgeoning demands for the women who would inhabit their fiction.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了十九世紀末和二十世紀初流行小說中，第一代在牛津和劍橋學習的女性的表現。這些女性被親切地稱為「吉爾頓女孩」（Girton Girls），她們被描繪成意圖推翻古老大學，並進而改變英國社會的角色。本研究主張，牛津劍橋女性的強大和有影響力的形象在當時的小說中被利用和擴展。它顯示這些小說不僅提供了對1880年至1914年間英國生活這一同時充滿焦慮和偶爾充滿希望的時期的深刻批判視角，還揭示了流行小說在向現代主義主題和文學技術轉變中的未被充分探討的貢獻。這本書認為，吉爾頓女孩不僅僅是「大學小說」這一子類別中的配角，甚至不僅限於新女性小說的範疇，而是她的角色足夠豐富和可塑，能夠激發出多種情節，以回應讀者對於將會出現在他們小說中的女性日益增長的需求。
