The bright work grows : women writers of the Romantic Age
"In this volume of studies Professor Wordsworth assesses the contribution of women to the literature of the Romantic period. He discusses poets (Baillie, Barbauld, Betham, Blamire, Caroline Bowles, Bryan, Hemans, Landon, Lickbarrow, Norton, Robinson, Seward, Williams, Yearsley), novelists, storytellers and essayists (Austen, Burney, Sara Coleridge, Hays, Inchbald, Caroline Lamb, Mary Lamb, Mitford, Opie, Owenson, Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, Smith), polemicists and pamphleteers (Mary Anne Radcliffe, Southcott, Wollstonecraft), and writers on education (Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hannah More). With a substantial introduction and index The Bright Work Grows is a powerful, engaged and plain-speaking introduction to women's writing during a time when attitudes and conventions were undergoing fundamental change."--Jacket
