<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This volume explores women's intricate negotiations for traversing space in Anglo-American literature, written by or about women between the Victorian era and the 1950s. Whereas previous studies have tended to focus on a single aspect of women's engagement with space, be it the urban setting, the domestic interior, or the natural world, this volume considers women's temporary occupation of an array of liminal spaces and its literary representations during the period of approximately one hundred years that permanently changed gender relations. It brings together careful and subtle readings of spaces that are neither strictly private nor incontestably public, and furnishes important evidence that being 'in transit' not only implies crossing, but often actually eradicating established boundaries: between the public and the private, between home and away, and between gender and genre codes. <br/><br/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Teresa Gómez Reus and Terry Gifford's edited collection is a timely book, which provides an extremely valuable account of women's negotiations with spaces in transit in the work of women writers between the Victorian age and the 1950s. The collection suggests new ways of thinking about women and space in a range of texts, successfully structured in three sections which are indebted to Arnold Van Gennep's stages of rites of passage. Undoubtedly, Gómez Reus and Gifford's volume will become essential reading for those interested in the field of gender and spatial studies.</p> <p>Rosario Arias, Senior Lecturer in English Literature, University of Málaga, Spain</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Anna Despotopoulou, University of Athens, Greece Valerie Fehlbaum, University of Geneva, Switzerland Shannon Russell, John Cabot University in Rome, Italy Rebecca D'Monté, University of the West of England, UK Terry Gifford, University of Alicante, Spain Daniela Kato, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, China Emma Short, Newcastle University, UK Frances Piper, University of Salford, UK Niamh Downing, University College Falmouth, UK Teresa Gómez Reus, University of Alicante, Spain Janet Stobbs Wright, University of CEU Cardenal Herrera in Elche, Spain
