Gone Girls, 1684-1901 examines how the persistent trope in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British novels of female characters running away from home helped to shape both the novel form and modern feminism.
In Gone Girls, 1684-1901, Nora Gilbert argues that the persistent trope of female characters running away from some iteration of ''home'' played a far more influential role in the histories of both the rise of the novel and the rise of modern feminism than previous accounts have acknowledged. For as much as the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British novel may have worked to establish the private, middle-class, domestic sphere as the rightful (and sole) locus of female authority in the ways that prior critics have outlined, it was also continually showing its readers female characters who refused to buy into such an agenda--refusals which resulted, strikingly often, in those characters'' physical flights from home.
