Whilst today the women authors of these works are better known for
their campaigns and non-fiction, the novels presented in this
four-volume reset edition are key in fully understanding them as
individuals, as well as the causes they were fighting for. Their
works employ a broad variety of genres from the novel of manners,
sensation, education and vocation, to allegory, romance, female
bildungsroman and lesbian fiction. The position of fiction in the
careers of these women is complex. Fiction writing was widely
recognized as a 'profession' open to women, supplying ready money
for personal expenses and for the social cause. It also permitted
access to a broad readership that could not be accessed through
pamphlets or periodicals, and it allowed the potential for
influential literary celebrity. Moreover, romance and the novel had
an important position in female education, and fiction allowed
writers to voice some of their most unorthodox opinions. With notes
on the text.
