Reviews

[W]hat Daley does well is to trace the developmental trajectory of the Frauenroman, showing her readers the unique strengths and emphases of each novel and thereby challenging an overly formulaic conception of the genre. * MONATSCHEFTE * Great Books by German Women in the Age of Emotion, 1770-1820 usefully intervenes in the canon debate by analyzing epistolary novels written by German women authors. * EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FICTION *
