Women, the Novel, and Natural Philosophy, 1660-1727 shows how early
women novelists drew on debates about the self generated by the
'scientific' revolution to establish the novel as a genre and
literary omniscience as a point of view. These writers such as
Aphra Behn, Jane Barker, Eliza Haywood, and Mary Davys used,
tested, explored, accepted, and rejected ideas about the self in
their works to represent the act of knowing and what it means to be
a knowing self. Karen Bloom Gevirtz agues that as they did so, they
developed structures for representing authoritative knowing that
contributed to the development of the novel as a genre, and to
literary omniscience as a point of view.
