In this volume of studies Dr Wordsworth assesses the contribution of women to literature of the Romantic period. He discusses poets (Baillie, Barbauld, Betham, Blamire, Caroline Bowles, Bryan, Sara Coleridge, Hemans, Landon, Lickbarrow, Norton, Robinson, Seward, Smith, Tighe, Williams, Yearsley), novelists, storywriters and essayists (Austen, Burney, Hays, Inchbald, Caroline Lamb, Mary Lamb, Mitford, Opie, Owenson, Radcliffe, Mary Shelley), polemicists and pamphleteers (Mary Ann Radcliffe, Southcott, Wollstonecraft), and writers on education (Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hannah More). With a substantial introduction and index this successor volume to Ancestral Voices and Visionary Gleam (like them, adapted from introductions written for this series) is a powerful, engaged and plain-speaking introduction to women's writing during a time when attitudes and conventions were undergoing fundamental change.
