This book examines the possibilities of political theorizing in the
writings of early nineteenth-century German women and develops a
new theory of reading women's domestic fiction. Drawing on
feminism, new historicism, and hermeneutics for its theoretical
framework, the study suggests significant changes to Jurgen
Habermas's concept of the public sphere and women's role within it.
The book re-evaluates the genre of domestic fiction and traces its
use by women writers for political symbolism. Through novels,
educational treatises, conduct manuals, poetry, and history books
for women and children Caroline Fouque, the principal voice in this
study, and other authors of the period participated in the key
debates of the early nineteenth century, among them the anguished
discussions about the crisis in masculinity after the defeat of the
Prussian army in 1806, the discourses of national identity, the
construction of a national past, and the reorganization of the
feudal state.
