Product Description
At the heart of this book is a friendship between two women: Jane Carlyle, and the novelist Geraldine Jewsbury. It was a difficult friendship, and in its difficulty lies much that is illuminating about 19th century domestic ideology; about writing for a market, and female fame, and about the complex ambivalences between women and the constriants that shaped the support they were able to give each other. The author explores this friendship in the light of an earlier friendship of two professional writing women, that between Geraldine's sister, Maria Jane Jewsbury, and the enormously popular poet, Felicia Hemans. Successful in their own day, these two significant women writers have been almost lost to literary history. Their relationship in some ways provided Geraldine with a model for her friendship with Jane Carlyle. Examining aspects of these women's lives, writing, and relationships, exporing the crucial differences in their politics about men, Norma Clarke provides a subtle and illuminating discussion of the possibilities open to middle-class women in the Victorian age. ...

Excerpt:Amelia Curran, Portrait of Percy Bysshe Shelley , 1819 Amelia Curran (1775 1847) was an Irish painter. She was the eldest child of heroic barrister and wit John Philpot Curran and his wife Sarah Creagh. Her sister Sarah Curran was the fiancée of Robert Emmet . Amelia was a member of the Church of Ireland for the early part of her life. In 1810, through her father, she met William Godwin and Aaron Burr . Soon after, she met her lifelong friend, Percy Bysshe Shelley . His first wife, Harriet, did not take to her, seeing her as a "coquette".

She later traveled to Rome and built up a close friendship and correspondence with Shelley's second wife Mary . In 1821, she moved to Naples , where she converted to Catholicism . She moved to Paris the next year, where, it was falsely rumored, she had married and separated from a man. She returned to Rome in 1824, where she spent the rest of her life.
