Women in the Eighteenth Century: Constructions of Femininity (World and Word)

Women in the Eighteenth Century: Constructions of Femininity (World and Word)

by VivienJones (Editor)

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.

Media Reviews
It ought to be of interest to the generalist and the specialist alike. . . . Jones' anthology is uncommonly informative and intelligently conceived.
