The concept of decorum - the way these heroines violate our literary expectations - is discussed as a means of locating these works within the modern tradition. The book also contains a general discussion of Stead's other fiction, as well as biographical information, especially as related to the works considered and usually in Stead's words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Macomber Stern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820408301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820408309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kate Macomber Stern","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082574373119,"sku":"9780820408309","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christina-steads-heroine-kate-macomber-stern-9780820408309","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
