This essay collection rediscovers and reassesses a host of still
little-known, pre-1914, Welsh women writers. In the last few
decades considerable advances have been made towards rediscovering,
contextualising, and analysing women's writing from Wales. The
combined influences of the post-1960s women's movement, the 1990s
Welsh devolution successes, and the development of the 'Four
Nations' school of British literary criticism, have together
effected significant advances in the field of Welsh feminist
literary studies. This book focuses in particular on: the
fifteenth- to eighteenth-century Welsh-language bards, such as
Gwerful Mechain, Angharad James, and Marged Dafydd; the
seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English-language poets,
including Katherine Philips, Jane Brereton, Anne Penny, and Anne
Hughes; contributors to the Romantic movement in Wales, such as the
poets and novelists Mary Robinson and Ann of Swansea; the
mid-nineteenth-century protesting voice of polemicists such as Jane
Williams (Ysgafell); the Victorian English-language novelists, for
example Louisa Matilda Spooner, Anne Beale, Amy Dillwyn, Allen
Raine, and Mallt Williams, and their concern with national, class,
and gender identities; and early twentieth-century Welsh-language
writers engaged with Welsh Home Rule and women's suffrage issues,
such as Gwyneth Vaughan and Eluned Morgan. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Women's Writing. Chapter 7 is
