LOVE AND EUGENICS IN THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY: RATIONAL REPRODUCTION AND THE NEW WOMAN By Angelique Richardson - Hardcover.

About this product

Product Information

The idea of eugenics - human selective breeding - originated in Victorian Britain in response to the problem of the urban poor. It was championed by New Woman writers, who sought to restore the health of the nation, arguing that through rational reproduction middle-class women could regenerate the British imperial race. Exploring the pervasiveness of eugenic ideas in fin-de-siècle Britain, and recontextualizing New Woman fiction, Love and Eugenics in the Late Nineteenth Century makes a radical contribution to nineteenth-century studies, establishing the intimate relations between early feminism and eugenics.

Reviews
Richardson's highlighting of the diverse ways in which love was constructed is compelling... elegantly and cogently brings together a wide range of eugenic and anti-eugenic sources and thinkers., Richardson provides a valuably warts-and-all history of how feminism intersected with biological racism and hereditary elitism. As a result, this is a genuinely important contribution to the history of British feminism., Swiftly establishes itself as a very significant contribution to the expanded field of New Woman scholarship... of Grand, of the feminism of the period and of the cultural history of eugenics itself., '...an illuminating examination of the ways in which feminist writersincorporated eugenics and notions of rational reproduction into fiction in thelate nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.'Medical History, Richardson enriches our understanding of the connections between feminist thought and Victorian biological science., 'This is a well-researched and well-written study, and can be particularlyrecommended to those interested in seeing how ideas of 'good breeding' andracial regeneration interacted with late nineteenth century feminist ideas, andwere disseminated in serious fiction.'Galton Institute Newsletter, A finely organized and superbly researched study which significantly extends our knowledge of a literary cadre., a very well-written and thoughtful piece of scholarship that successfully combines historical analysis and literary criticism. It is a welcome and important contribution to the cultural study of British eugenics and early feminism and, crucially, to the relationship between the two., "This is a bravely revisionist reading, which will give considerable pause for thought to all those who have enthusiastically embraced and celebrated the progressive, protofeminist aspects of the New Woman movement.... Richardson exposes not just the class biases, but in some cases the antihumanitarianism of these writers."--Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 "Richardson provides an important analysis of 'The Woman Question' in 19th-century Britain through a tour of the ideas of Darwin, Galton, Mill, and three Victorian novelists: Sarah Grand, George Egerton (Mary Chavelita Dunne), and Mona Caird."--Choice, "This is a bravely revisionist reading, which will give considerable pause for thought to all those who have enthusiastically embraced and celebrated the progressive, protofeminist aspects of the New Woman movement....
