Publication Spotlight:

Framed: The New Woman Criminal in British Culture at the Fin de Siècle
by Elizabeth Carolyn Miller

"remarkable for its wide-ranging scholarship and the breadth of its author’s thinking. Miller has produced a valuable, highly readable study that will change the way we think about the New Woman and her political and social agency." -- Review by Grace Moore, Nineteenth Century Literature (December 2009): 426-29.

"Framed is a book that is remarkable for its steady erudition, its calm authority, and its consistent maintenance of a very high standard indeed for itself. There is not a wasted word or a subpar argument. This is a meticulous and intelligent treatment of what makes modernity." -- Review by Talia Schaffer, Romanticism and Victorianism on the Net (November 2009).

"a refreshing, wide-ranging look at a complex figure emerging in the Victorian twilight." -- Review by Caroline Reitz, Victorian Studies (Winter 2010): 310-12.
