This is the first critical edition and the first twenty-first century reprint of Caird’s novel with a full editorial apparatus including a critical introduction, notes and appendices. Informed by the novel’s fin-de-siècle context, references to Greek mythology and recent scholarship on Caird and the New Woman, this edition will be beneficial for students and scholars of British and Anglophone literature and gender.
