Description:

Complementing the current upsurge in feminist writing on the eighteenth century, and giving students the chance to make their own re-readings of texts, this anthology gathers together a range of material from conduct manuals to medical texts.

Synopsis:

This anthology gathers together various texts by and about women, ranging from 'conduct' manuals to pamphlets on prostitution, from medical texts to critical definitions of women's writing, from anti-female satires to appeals for female equality. By making this material more widely available, Women in the Eighteenth Century complements the current upsurge in feminist writing on eighteenth-century literary history and offers students the opportunity to make their own rereadings of literary texts and their ideological contexts.
