  abstract: From 'The Other Boleyn Girl' to 'Fingersmith', this collection explores the popularity of female-centred historical novels in recent years. It asks how these representations are influenced by contemporary gender politics, and whether they can be seen as part of a wider feminist project to recover women's history.
