Since then, in spite of several reprints of her much acclaimed, so-called 'New Woman' novel \u003cem\u003eThe Story of a Modern Woman\u003c\/em\u003e (1894), most of Hepworth Dixon's 'clever modern tales', as \u003cem\u003eThe Times\u003c\/em\u003e' critic described them, have remained out of print. The stories had all previously appeared during the preceding decade in various periodicals, some aimed at a primarily female readership such as the \u003cem\u003eLady's Pictorial\u003c\/em\u003e, others at a wider, more general public, such as the \u003cem\u003ePall Mall Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eYellow Book\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection comprises the whole of \u003cem\u003eOne Doubtful Hour\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as selected other stories, including those published in Oscar Wilde's \u003cem\u003eWoman's World\u003c\/em\u003e and those containing embryonic elements later re-worked into her celebrated novel and her less well-known play \u003cem\u003eThe Toyshop of the Heart\u003c\/em\u003e (performed in 1908 but never published). The volume also includes a selection of non-fiction pieces, among which are contributions to a debate on 'Why Women are Ceasing to Marry'. A comprehensive introduction sets Hepworth Dixon and her work in the historical, literary and social context in which she thrived, and a critical commentary examines the changes she made between original publication and book form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51375092596959,"sku":"9781839542466","price":38.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/EAtxqzXoT69781839542466.webp?v=1789193018"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/ella-hepworth-dixon.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
