註釋Subversive Heroines offers fresh insights into the Condition-of-England novels of the 1840s and 1850s that described the social problems caused by rapid industrialization. Working-class political agitation during this period caused many to fear that revolution was imminent. The novels offered an imaginative response to what was perceived as a pressing situation and in their conclusions provided suggestions for the resolution of class tensions. A striking feature of the novels is the leading role women characters play in providing the solution to social problems. Their inventions contain a utopian dream of a woman-led society without classes and competition.
