Focusing particularly on the critical reception of Jane Austen,
Charlotte BrontA" and George Eliot, Joanne Wilkes offers in-depth
examinations of reviews by eight female critics: Maria Jane
Jewsbury, Sara Coleridge, Hannah Lawrance, Jane Williams, Julia
Kavanagh, Anne Mozley, Margaret Oliphant and Mary Augusta Ward.
What they wrote about women writers, and what their writings tell
us about the critics' own sense of themselves as women writers,
reveal the distinctive character of nineteenth-century women's
contributions to literary history. Wilkes explores the different
choices these critics, writing when women had to grapple with
limiting assumptions about female intellectual capacities, made
about how to disseminate their own writing. While several
publishing in periodicals wrote anonymously, others published
books, articles and reviews under their own names. Wilkes teases
out the distinctiveness of nineteenth-century women's often ignored
contributions to the critical reception of canonical women authors,
and also devotes space to the pioneering efforts of Lawrance,
Kavanagh and Williams to draw attention to the long tradition of
female literary activity up to the nineteenth century. She draws on
commentary by male critics of the period as well, to provide
context for this important contribution to the recuperation of
women's critical discourse in nineteenth-century Britain.
