The History of British Women's Writing, 1750-1830 cover

This period witnessed the first full flowering of women's writing in Britain. This illuminating volume features leading scholars who draw upon the last 25 years of scholarship and textual recovery to demonstrate the literary and cultural significance of women in the period, discussing writers such as Austen, Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley.

'...this volume is essential reading for scholars working in the field, and a superb introduction for those new to it.' - Benjamin Dabby, Victoriographies

'...this important collection reflects the great diversity and ingenuity of women's literary contributions in this period, their readiness to ask 'big questions' and the ideational connections which they themselves generated in the intellectual networks in which they worked.' - Christina Davidson, Women: A Cultural Review
