Marriage, Writing, And Romanticism : Wordsworth And Austen After War
Women Writers And Old Age In Great Britain, 1750-1850

Attribution
Devoney LooserPublication Details
BookJohns Hopkins University Press2008Links
Description
Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim — despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions. In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.

Susan J. WolfsonPublication Details

British Modernism And Censorship

Attribution
Celia MarshikPublication Details
BookCambridge University Press2006Links
Description
Government censorship had a profound impact on the development of canonical modernism and on the public images of modernist writers. Chapters on Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Bernard Shaw, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, and Jean Rhys demonstrate that by both reacting against and complying with the forces of repression, writers reaped personal and stylistic benefits for themselves and for society at large.
