At the heart of this book is a friendship between two women: Jane Carlyle, and the novelist Geraldine Jewsbury. It was a difficult friendship, and in its difficulty lies much that is illuminating about 19th century domestic ideology; about writing for a market, and female fame, and about the complex ambivalences between women and the constriants that shaped the support they were able to give each other. The author explores this friendship in the light of an earlier friendship of two professional writing women, that between Geraldine's sister, Maria Jane Jewsbury, and the enormously popular poet, Felicia Hemans. Successful in their own day, these two significant women writers have been almost lost to literary history. Their relationship in some ways provided Geraldine with a model for her friendship with Jane Carlyle. Examining aspects of these women's lives, writing, and relationships, exporing the crucial differences in their politics about men, Norma Clarke provides a subtle and illuminating discussion of the possibilities open to middle-class women in the Victorian age.
