Women Writers And Old Age In Great Britain, 1750-1850

- Publisher description
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.

Attribution
Elizabeth A. Dolan
Publication Details
Book, Ashgate Pub, 2008
Description
Dolan’s research encompasses a wide range of primary sources in science and medicine, including nosology, health travel, botany, and ophthalmology, allowing her to map the resonances and disjunctions between medical theory and literature.This in turn points towards a revisioning of enduring themes in Romanticism such as the figure of the Romantic poet, the relationship between the mind and nature, sensibility and sympathy, solitude and sociability, landscape aesthetics, the reform novel, and Romantic-era science.

Speaking For Nature : Women And Ecologies Of Early Modern England

Attribution
Sylvia Bowerbank
Publication Details
Book, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004
Links
Description
According to the tenets of ecofeminism, there are explicit connections between society’s treatment of women and the degradation of our environment, connections made apparent in the patriarchal devaluation of both women and nature. In early modern England, the entry of women into the politics of nature occurred during a volatile period when the cultural meaning of nature was being destabilized by scientific advances and religious controversies, thus opening up new rights, roles, and responsibilities for women.
