George Egerton fue una escritora fundamental del movimiento feminista de la "Nueva Mujer" y una figura destacada de la era fin de siècle. Sus innovaciones estilísticas y su temática radical y feminista la consolidaron como una de las voces literarias más influyentes de su tiempo. El enfoque experimental de Egerton en cuanto a forma y contenido anticipó las técnicas modernistas de autores como James Joyce y D. H. Lawrence. Su obra, que también influyó en Thomas Hardy, es reconocida por ser la primera mención de Friedrich Nietzsche en la literatura inglesa.
