Viac o knihe Women`s Writing 1778-1838 (Oxford World Classics)
This anthology brings together for the first time the work of over
forty women writers in a period marked by rapid social change, intense
intellectual and political debate, and a sharpened focus on the rights
and wrongs of women. Covering a wide range of writing in a variety of
literary and non-literary genres, it represents women`s contributions
to economics, the physical sciences, literature for children, social
geography, history, and religion, as well as poetry, the novel, drama,
and criticism. Some of the writers included are familiar names--Jane
Austen, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Barrett--but many others are new.
Controversial figures such as the prophet Joanna Southcott and the
first female historian, Catharine Macaulay, come back into view, along
with strikingly inventive work in all the genres represented,
including, for the first time, women`s contributions to domestic
economy in the age before Mrs Beeton.The significance of
women`s writing in the public arena of the time has often been
underestimated, and what emerges from the pages of this anthology is a
female intellectual culture that is diverse, impassioned, contentious,
and very much alive.
