Love, Desire and Melancholy

Originally inspired by the digitisation of the autobiographical writings of Constance Maynard, this book considers womens historical experience of sexuality through the frame of the history of emotions. Constance Maynard (18491935) rose to prominence as the first Mistress and Principal of Westfield College, holding that position from 1882 to 1913. However, her writings offer more than an insight into the movement for womens higher education. As pioneering feminist scholars such as Martha Vicinus have discovered, Maynards life writings are a valuable source for scholars of gender and sexuality. Writing about her relationships with other women teachers and students, Maynard attempted to understand her emotions and desires within the frame of her evangelical religious culture.

The contributions to this book draw out the significance of Maynards writings for the histories of gender, sexuality, religion and the emotions. Interdisciplinary in nature, they use the approaches of literary studies, architecture studies and life writing to understand Maynard and her historical significance. This book was originally published as a special issue of Womens History Review.

Angharad Eyre gained her PhD in English at Queen Mary University of London, UK, in 2014. Her thesis explored how the phenomenon of the woman missionary influenced nineteenth-century ideas of femininity, womens writing and the early feminist movement.

Jane Mackelworth is finishing her PhD in History at Queen Mary University of London, UK. Her topic is Writing Sapphic Love and Desire in Britain, 19001950. She is also a co-convenor for the IHR History of Sexuality Seminar Series.

Elsa Richardson is a Lecturer on the history of health and medicine at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, and completed her PhD in 2014 at Queen Mary University of London, UK. Her first monograph, Extraordinary Powers of Perception, examines the place of supernatural and prophetic forms of visionary experience in the Victorian scientific and literary imagination.
