Abstract

George Egerton was a controversial but very popular English-language writer in the turn of the century. It belonged to the phenomenon called "New Woman", formed by artists who placed women at the center of their works. Egerton created a new type of heroine, modern and unconventional, and a new type of narrative anticipating feminism and modernism in literature.
