Description for British Women Writers and the French Revolution
Paperback. Series: Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the Cultures of Print. Num Pages: 237 pages, biography. BIC Classification: DSB; HBJD; HBL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
British Women Writers and the French Revolution provides an overview of a wide range of British women's writings on the French Revolution, from writers sympathetic to the Revolution like Mary Robinson, Helen Maria Williams, and Charlotte Smith, to anti-revolutionary writers like Hannah More and Jane West. Based on new research in French and British archives and libraries, the book uncovers little-known writings by British women, and argues that these writers developed a distinct antinationalism, in some cases even a feminist cosmopolitanism, in their responses to the European revolutionary crisis.
