Elizabeth Fay's invaluable book addresses the reader in an
immediate and direct manner to provide an unequaled introduction to
the issues most important for feminist analyses of Romantic
literature. In her opening chapter, Fay offers detailed definitions
and a historicized grounding that gives a thorough account of
feminist theory's involvement in Romantic studies and provides a
rigorous methodology for students to follow, concluding with a
highly instructive case study on Jane Austen. Subsequent chapters
deal with women and revolutionary politics, the Gothic genre and
domestic politics, women and thought, and women and identity, which
covers visuality in Romantic texts. Further reading is listed at
the end to each chapter. The book includes key illustrations and a
comprehensive bibliography.
