About this product
Product Information
While many nineteenth- century women writers- such as George Eliot, Mrs Gaskell, the Brontes- are now widely written about, the women who paved the way for them in the eighteenth- century are only now being given the attention they deserve. In the mid- eighteenth-century, the achievements of cultivated, literary women- as poets, critics, dramatists, scholars, and polemicists- were widely celebrated. By the beginning of the nineteenth-century, however, they had all but disappeared. Following a chronological line from the beginning of the eighteenth-century to the end, The Rise and FALL OF THE WOMAN OF LETTERS is a study of Elizabeth Singer Rowe, Elizabeth Carter, Hester Chapone, Mrs Montagu, Anna Seward, and Joanna Baillie and other women who took on the role of public writers in the age of rapidly evolving print culture. Precocious, witty, learned, and confident, the eighteenth- century woman of letters was a cultural figure who was invited to think and speak with authority. Her voice was listened to on equal terms with men and she derived her confidence from the approval of a culture undergoing dramatic social and political change. By the turn of the century, however, definitions of feminity had changed and despite huge advancements in the publishing industry, the type of literary woman sanctioned then and mythologised in our own times, was secretive and troubled about daring to write, publishing mostly fiction and poetry- internalised and 'private' forms of discourse- under pseudonyms. Through an examination of the literary texts produced by the 'Bluestockings' and an analysis of the cultural and social changes surrounding the production of theses materials, Clarke looks closely at how the eighteenth- century woman of letters became such an important part of public life and accounts for why she disappeared.
