Academic - Women's Studies - Eighteenth-Century Studies - History -
Literature; The roles and responsibilities of the individual woman,
and an entire class, are discussed and developed within these
texts. This set will be of interest to students of
eighteenth-century culture, women's writing and history. Continuing
our successful series Conduct Literature for Women, we move into
the eighteenth century. The emphasis shifts away from courtly
etiquette to a more domestic focus, reflecting the growth of a new
middle class in English society. The roles and responsibilities of
the individual woman, and an entire class, are discussed and
developed within these texts. This increasing concern with the
practicalities of private life associates the conduct genre with
another major literary development of the age, the realist novel.
women's writing and history. The advice included takes the shape of
sermons, poems and cookery books, as well as narratives such as The
Polite Lady (1760) which is written as a series of letters between
a mother and daughter. Contributions are by male and female authors
in a broad variety of styles and genres, and the texts were often
widely influential and the subject of public and literary debate.
None of the texts are available in any other modern edition
