Palgrave Macmillan UK 2004. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. 236 pages. Proposing a new model for the history and development of literary criticism in England British Women Writers and the Profession of Literary Criticism 1789-1832 argues that while British literary culture became increasingly commercial and middle-class women literary critics found unprecedented opportunities for professionalism and public authority. Professional literary criticism allowed these women writers to influence issues of national concern - morality both public and private the nation's cultural heritage the essential qualities of Britishness itself. Romantic-era women critics demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the constructed and contested nature of aesthetics and the role of aesthetics in shaping the culture at large. They show lively interest in the relationship between the author the authorial persona and the reading audience. Underscoring the collaborative nature of literary production the book engages debates about British Romantic period professionalism the dynamics of print culture the nascent consciousness of a reading public nationalism and the literary canon while establishing the existence of conscious professionalism among Romantic-era women writers. Book Description: This book examines professional literary criticism by Romantic-era British women to reveal that while developing a conscious professionalism women literary critics helped to shape the aesthetic models that defined Romantic literary values and made the British literary heritage a source of national pride. Women critics understood the contested nature of aesthetics and the public implications of aesthetic values on questions such as morality both public and private the nation's cultural heritage even the essential qualities of Britishness itself. : Review: 'This is a remarkable landmark study in the field of literary scholarship. There has never been anything quite like it and what it has to offer is badly needed. Not only will it forever alter the way we see the careers of the particular women reviewers under discussion Anna Letitia Barbauld Elizabeth Inchbald Mary Wollstonecraft Elizabeth Moody and Harriet Martineau but more significantly it will transform the way we view the history and development of literary criticism in England. This important contribution to the field of English Romantic studies brings to the fore the collaborative nature of literary production.' - Paula R. Feldman C.
