This collection comprises twelve essays offering new research on literature within the period 1880–1939 followed by two essays on later literature which take us to the present day. Within the group of themed essays are included studies of such celebrated literary milieux as the fin de siècle and Bloomsbury, and of major individual writers such as Oscar Wilde, H. G. Wells, Henry James, Virginia Woolf and Edith Wharton, as well as lesser-known and under- explored figures from the period including Theodore Watts-Dunton, Olive Custance and Mary Elizabeth Coleridge.
