Outside the Pale by Elsie B Michie

Elsie B. Michie here provides insightful readings of novels by Mary Shelley, Emily and Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot, writers who confronted definitions of femininity which denied them full participation in literary culture. Exploring a series of abhorrent images, Michie traces the links between the Victorian definition of femininity and other forms of cultural exclusion such as race and class distinctions.

Elsie B. Michie is Assistant Professor of English at Louisiana State University. A graduate of Brown University, she received her Ph.D. degree from Yale University.
