- W585713328 abstract "The decades around the fin de siecle are widely regarded as a period of rapid transition and development to which the Victorians reacted with excitement and anxiety. It was also a period permeated by interest in supernatural phenomena such as ghosts, fairies, and telepathic demonstrations, spurred by the challenges of modernity to pre-existing forms of knowledge, belief, and social organisation. This thesis examines the response of the late-Victorian writer and social activist, May Kendall, to such developments, arguing that she utilised the supernatural as a vehicle for social satire and is a significant contributor to the history of a literature of social critique. Largely overlooked in modern academia, there exists only limited criticism of Kendall’s work, and no sustained examination of her supernatural poetry. To address this deficiency, I balance close reading of key poems with reference to a wider selection of her work, considered in the context of their original publications, such as Victorian periodicals. I further argue that her distinct sense of humour distinguishes Kendall amongst fin de siecle poets, stimulating the popular reception of her work and contributing to the increasing scholarly interest in Kendall as part of the recovery of women writers from the period." @default.
