Between 1660 and 1820, Great Britain experienced significant
structural transformations in class, politics, economy, print, and
writing that produced new and varied spaces and with them, new and
reconfigured concepts of gender. In mapping the relationship
between gender and space in British literature of the period, this
collection defines, charts, and explores new cartographies, both
geographic and figurative. The contributors take up a variety of
genres and discursive frameworks from this period, including
poetry, the early novel, letters, and laboratory notebooks written
by authors ranging from Aphra Behn, Hortense Mancini, and Isaac
Newton to Frances Burney and Germaine de StaA"l. Arranged in three
groups, Inside, Outside, and Borderlands, the essays conduct
targeted literary analysis and explore the changing relationship
between gender and different kinds of spaces in the long eighteenth
century. In addition, a set of essays on Charlotte Smith's novels
and a set of essays on natural philosophy offer case studies for
exploring issues of gender and space within larger fields, such as
an author's oeuvre or a particular discourse. Taken together, the
essays demonstrate space's agency as a complement to historical
change as they explore how literature delineates the gendered
redefinition, occupation, negotiation, inscription, and creation of
new spaces, crucially contributing to the construction of new
cartographies in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England.
