Traditional literary theory holds that women writers of the
Restoration and eighteenth century produced works of limited range
and value: simple tales of domestic conflict, seduction, and
romance. Bringing a broad range of methodologies (historical,
textual, post-structuralist, psychological) to bear on the works of
Eliza Haywood, Charlotte Smith, Sarah Fielding, Fanny Burney, Jane
Austen, and others. Fetter'd or Free? encourages a re-evaluation of
these elder sisters of the Brontes and Eliot. In addition to
examining the relationship between the minor female writers and the
acknowledged greats of the age, these twenty-three essays focus on
such issues as politics and ideology in the novel; the social,
cultural, and economic context of the female writer; female
character types and iconography; fictional and rhetorical
strategies; and the development of such recurrent themes as
imprisonment and subversion. What emerges is a much clearer view
than we have had of the predicament of the female writer in the
eighteenth century, the constraints on her freedom and artistic
integrity, and the means by which she recognized, expressed, and
responded to the conditions of this turbulent age. The collection
includes essays by Paula Backscheider, Patricia M. Spacks, Jerry C.
Beasley, Margaret Anne Doody, Robert A. Day, and others. None of
the essays has been previously published. In scope and variety,
Fetter'd of Free? is unlike anything currently available. It will
be of interest to both the specialist and the ambitious general
reader and will initiate fresh dialogues among scholars of both
eighteenth century literature and women's studies.
