Abstract

Despite continuing attention to once-neglected Victorian women novelists, new anthologies of Victorian women's poetry, and collections of women's writing on the woman question, the feminist project of recovering women's voices, Barbara T. Gates ably reminds us, is hardly over. Indeed, with Kindred Nature, Gates cuts across genres to consider multiple modes of Victorian and Edwardian women's engagement with nature and, in doing so, defines a supple and inventive tradition in women's writing. While this array of material might be lost in parceling it out by genres which are often relegated to minor status, Gates instead tracks women's persistent and significant engagement with the natural world to demonstrate a continuing legacy in women's writing of reinterpreting Darwinism, of ecological consciousness, and of pioneering forms of nature writing.
