In 1761, Frances Sheridan published her novel The Memoirs of Miss
Sidney Bidulph, which became a popular and widely praised example
of the sentimental novel. The Conclusions, that novel's sequel, is
set eight years later, after Sidney Bidulph's marriage and
motherhood. Psychologically subtle and emotionally immediate, the
novel is told almost entirely in the form of letters. Many of the
letters are between the scheming Sophy and Edward Audley, who are
trying to trick Sidney's daughter into marriage with Edward; these
letters provide a startlingly realistic portrayal of villainy,
anticipating such later works as Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The
historical appendices include documents on the education of young
adults in the eighteenth century and contemporary reviews of the
novel.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve

in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these

Since Silent Spring was published in 1962, the number of texts
about the natural world written by women has grown exponentially.
The essays in Women Writing Nature: A Feminist View argue that
women writing in the 20th century are utilizing the historical
connection of women and the natural world in diverse ways. For
centuries women have been associated with nature but many feminists
have sought to distance themselves from the natural world because
of dominant cultural representations which reflect women as
controlled by powerful natural forces and confined to domestic
spaces. However, in the spirit of Rachel Carson, some writers have
begun to invoke nature for feminist purposes or have used nature as
an agent of resistance. This collection considers women's writings
about the natural world in light of recent and current feminist and
ecofeminist theory and finds a variety of approaches and
perspectives, both by the scholars and by the authors discussed,
culminating with the voices of two women, activist and scientist
Joan Maloof and Irish poet Rosemarie Rowley, who both write about
the natural world from a feminist perspective.

Colonial Women is the first comprehensive study to explore the interpenetrating discourses of gender and race in Stuart drama. Hutner argues that in drama, as in historical accounts, the symbol of the native woman is used to justify and promote the success of the English appropriation, commodification, and expoitaion of the New World and its native inhabitants, Hutner analyzes the figure of the native woman in the plays of Shakespeare, Fletcher, Davenant, Dryden, Behn and other playwrights, Furthermore, Hutner suggests that representation of native women function as a means of self-definition for the English, and the seduction of the native woman is, in this respect, a symbolic strategy to stabilize the turbulent sociopolitical and religious conflicts in Restoration England under the inclusive ideology of expansion and profit.
