- Summary
- "The present volume reprints "Ethel's Love-Life" by Margaret Jane Mussey Sweat, for the first time since it appeared in 1859; and it also reprints Sweat's collection of poems, "Verses" (1890), as well as a robust selection of her most important literary-critical writings, which have largely to do with the genre of the novel and with her two most admired literary predecessors (Charlotte Brontë and George Sand). The critical writings by Sweat on the novel as a form and on these particular female writers give us many hints as to her agenda in writing "Ethel's Love-Life"; her collection in "Verses" both continues her novel's project of dramatizing a queer way of being in the world and may, in some ways, retreat from that vision"--
