But it is in its primary purview of Victorian Femininity that this good book is at its best. Subjects on Display is well worth the time of anyone interested in women from whatever gendered perspective.” * Studies in the Novel *","brand":"MJ - Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038652334423,"sku":"9780821415481","price":74.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780821415481.jpg?v=1750940937","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/subjects-on-display-9780821415481","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
