A reading of Burnett' s novels in the context of the changing literary field in England and the United StatesFrances Hodgson Burnett is remembered today as the author of the children' s classic The Secret Garden, but in her lifetime she had a long and successful career as a novelist, dramatist and writer of children' s stories. Of high literary quality, her novels covered a range of genres, including industrial novels, American-themed social novels, historical novels, transatlantic novels and post-World War I novels. The Novels of Frances Hodgson Burnett reads her novels in the context of the changing literary field in England and the United States in the years between the death of George Eliot in 1880 through to the Great War. Read as a body of literary fiction in relation to Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James and T. S. Eliot among others, and read in the context of literary realism, historical fiction, the sensation novel and so on, Burnett' s novels constitute an important thread that chronicles the changing contexts and forms of English and American fiction from the end of the Victorian period to the Jazz Age of the 1920s.
"Recchio' s book on Frances Hodgson Burnett is an excellent example of a popular woman writer reclaimed in the twenty-first century for her generically varied, financially successful and still relevant fiction. This book is a must for anyone interested in women' s writing, Victorian to modernist literary developments and First World War writing. " -Janine Hatter, Programme Manager, PGTS, Doctoral College, University of Hull, UK
