E. OE. Somerville and Martin Ross : Women's Literary Collaborations and Victorian Authorship

本書探討了十九世紀晚期最著名和最成功的女性文學合作夥伴之一的卓越合作;愛爾蘭作家伊迪絲薩默維爾（Edith Somerville，1858-1949）和馬丁羅斯（Martin Ross，1862-1914）。基於廣泛和原創檔案研究，重新定位了有關薩默維爾和羅斯合作關係的傳統思維，並重新考慮了純粹的家庭和個人事務之外的合作。這種合作在這裡被視為兩位女性畢生但是複雜的女性主義倫理重要組成部分，同時也是愛爾蘭和維多利亞時期文學社會中更具普遍性和顛覆性的文化地位。

從19世紀著作權和版權定義的法律美學角度來看，這本書極大地擴展了這些作者的辯論。Somerville和Ross的這本書為兩位女性研究較少，但同為重要的旅行寫作、散文、短篇小說，為生活寫作和廣泛的個人檔案資料揭開了新的性別、階級、和19世紀愛爾蘭的亮點。因此，這本書從作者，出版商和讀者的角度以及他們的文本中大大地探討了合作的觀念，並且既深化又面臨挑戰，目前的文學史對19世紀更廣泛的理解和處理女性作者身份及文學創作特別具有共鳴。

Taking its cue from the legal aesthetics of nineteenth- century definitions of authorship and copyright, this book significantly expands the existing parameters of debate surrounding these authors and argues for their dual artistic practice to be understood as a type of authorial dissidence.Sidestepping Somerville and Ross's major texts, the book sheds new light on the two women's lesser studied, but equally important, travel writing, essays, short fiction, life writing, and extensive personal archival material, opening up new avenues of enquiry into the complexities of gender, class, and nationality in nineteenth-century Ireland. The book thus significantly interrogates the idea of collaboration both from the point of view of the authors, their publishers and readers, as well as their texts, and both deepens, as well as challenges, current literary history's broader understanding and treatment of nineteenth-century female authorship and literary production in particularly resonant ways.
