The essays in this volume reveal the complex, various, sometimes
contradictory, and often significant ways in which female literary
authors interrogated and advanced educational philosophy and
practice during the long eighteenth century, reaching back to the
last decade of the seventeenth century and forward into the first
half of the nineteenth century. The collection draws out how
long-eighteenth-century discourses of education shaped what it
meant for women to write and how women writers shaped
long-eighteenth-century discourses of education, spotlighting the
influence of female authors on eighteenth-century debates about
education as they are conducted in and through literary form. By
identifying a discernible tradition of women's educational
literature, and, in doing so, restoring female writers to the
centre of the stage, this book adds its voice to existing scholarly
efforts to correct the ongoing critical tendency to marginalise the
contribution of women to the history of educational thought.
