Description: "This study breaks new ground in its concentration on England and the English in Stead's writing, and in its tackling of Stead's work in the context of current postcolonial thinking. Blake's readings of the 'neglected' English novels, Cotters' England and Miss Herbert (The Suburban Wife), show Stead making politically astute and darkly critical fictions of a 'very backward country'."--Jacket.
