Synopsis:

A constellation of essays on authorship, politics and history, British Women's Writing in the Long Eighteenth Century presents the latest thinking on gender and women's writing in the long eighteenth century, areas of work which have moved decisively from the periphery to the centre of eighteenth century studies. This collection highlights the ways in which women writers and their work were key to the worlds of politics and letters, integrated rather than separate from their central concerns, challenging past paradigms which too sharply divided - and gendered - public and private spheres and discourses. Representing new research and development in the field, these essays also serve as position papers, offering a provocative set of perspectives from which to explore the possibilities and limits of women's engagement with a wide range of public issues and debates from Aphra Behn to Hannah More and Mary Wollstonecraft. The collection features strategic contributions by leading international figures in the field such as Janet Todd, Isobel Grundy, Harriet Guest and Felicity Nussbaum, as well as those of rising younger scholars.
