Book Synopsis Girls who Went Wrong by : Laura Hapke
Book excerpt: Hapke examines how writers attempted to turn an outcast into a heroine in literature otherwise known for its puritanical attitude toward the fallen woman. She focuses on how these authors (all male) expressed late-Victorian conflicts about female sexuality. Hapke reevaluates Crane's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, discusses neglected prostitution fiction by authors Joaquin Miller, Edgar Fawcett, and Harold Frederic, and surveys progressive white slave novels.
