The Romantic period saw the first generations of professional women
writers flourish in Great Britain. Literary history is only now
giving them the attention they deserve, for the quality of their
writings and for their popularity in their own time. This
collection of new essays by leading scholars explores the
challenges and achievements of this fascinating set of women
writers, including Jane Austen, Mary Wollstonecraft, Ann Radcliffe,
Hannah More, Maria Edgeworth, and Mary Shelley alongside many
lesser-known female authors writing and publishing during this
period. Chapters consider major literary genres, including poetry,
fiction, drama, travel writing, histories, essays, and political
writing, as well as topics such as globalization, colonialism,
feminism, economics, families, sexualities, aging, and war. The
volume shows how gender intersected with other aspects of identity
and with cultural concerns that then shaped the work of authors,
critics, and readers.
