Answer:

We tend to forget how insistently Victorian reviewers made women the targets of ad feminam criticism. An error in Gordon Haight's A Century of George Eliot Criticism illustrates this common modern oversight; Haight quotes E. S. Dallas as saying of Eliot that no "Englishman" could approach her as a writer of prose. The word Dallas actually used was "Englishwoman."2 To Haight, such a distinction may seem trivial; to George Eliot, it was not. Gentleman reviewers had patronized lady novelists since the beginning of the nineteenth century; in 1834, for example, the reviewer for Fraser's had gloated prematurely over what he believed to be the true authorship of Castle Rackrent and The Absentee: "Ay: it is just as we expected! Miss Edgeworth never wrote the Edgeworth novels … all that, as we have long had a suspicion, was the work of her father."3 But the intense concentration on the proper sphere of the woman writer did not appear in criticism until the 1840s. Victorian critics strained their ingenuity for terms that would put delicate emphasis on the specialness of women and avoid the professional neutrality of "woman writer": authoress, female pen, lady novelist, and as late as Hurst & Blackett's 1897 commemorative volume, Women Novelists of Queen Victoria's Reign, the elegant "lady fictionists," described by "living mistresses of the craft." Through the 1850s and 1860s there was a great increase in theoretical and specific criticism of women novelists. Hardly a journal failed to publish an essay on women's literature; hardly a critic failed to express himself upon its innate and potential qualities.
