Series Statement:
Edinburgh critical studies in Victorian culture
Content:
Drawing on archival materials around this national library reading room, 'Roomscape' integrates documentary, theoretical historical, and literary sources to examine the significance of this public interior space for women writers and their treatment of reading and writing spaces in literary texts. This study challenges an assessment of the reading room of the British Museum as a bastion of class and gender privilege, an image firmly established by Virginia Woolf's 'A Room of One's Own' and the legions of feminist scholarship that upholds this spatial conceit.
