This collection aims to give a chronological insight into the
evolution of conduct literature, from its early roots in the
Renaissance period through to the dramatically different role that
women played at the emergence of the 20th century. The material
presented in this six-volume set moves away from courtly etiquette,
adopting a more middle-class, domestic focus, and includes
facsimile reproductions of sermons, poems, narratives and cookery
books. Social and literary historians recognise the 1790s as a
moment of political crisis and turbulence in British history: the
intense reactions in Britain to increasing revolutionary violence
in France politicised almost every aspect of cultural life. At the
centre of discursive hostilities was the opposition between
sentimentality, on the one hand, and rationality, on the other. Two
of the most important literary forms utilised for expressing these
polemics were novels and treatises on education, as well as conduct
writing. Conduct Literature for Women IV, 1770-1830 makes available
this body of writing, which has been less well studied in respect
to the war of ideas than the former two.
