Reviews

[A] varied and accessible collection of essays. . . . Some [essays] will be particularly useful as teaching resources as they provide introductions to the history of reading, women's education, and the overall social and political context as well as to the author in question (for example, the two opening articles by Monika Nenon and Lauren Nossett on La Roche). Others are more speculative and aimed at a more specialist audience in their detailed focus on individual texts or research paradigms.--Deborah Holmes Modern Language Review

[A] welcome addition to research in a field where contributions are becoming sparse...This collection makes the case for attending to the biographical and socio-historical specificity of women's literary works and thereby discovering new aesthetic value in them. It also demonstrates that, notwithstanding severe constraints on their creativity, women in the period still found room to maneuver. * LESSING YEARBOOK * [A] varied and accessible collection of essays. ...Some [essays] will be particularly useful as teaching resources as they provide introductions to the history of reading, women's education, and the overall social and political context as well as to the author in question (for example, the two opening articles by Monika Nenon and Lauren Nossett on La Roche).
