In contemporary pop culture, the pursuits regarded as the most
frivolous are typically understood to be more feminine in nature
than masculine. This collection illustrates how ideas of the
popular and the feminine were assumed to be equally naturally
intertwined in the eighteenth century, and the ways in which that
association facilitates the ongoing trivialization of both. Top
scholars in eighteenth-century studies examine the significance of
the parallel devaluations of women's culture and popular culture by
looking at theatres and actresses; novels, magazines, and
cookbooks; and populist politics, dress, and portraiture. They also
assess how eighteenth-century women have been re-imagined in
contemporary historical fiction, films, and television, from the
works of award-winner Beryl Bainbridge to Darcymania and Pride and
Prejudice and Zombies. By reconsidering the cultural and social
practices of eighteenth-century women, this fascinating volume
reclaims the ostensibly trivial as a substantive cultural
contribution.
