Description

Explore the complex relationship between gender and authorship in the eighteenth century with A Genealogy of the Gentleman. This scholarly work from the Early Modern Feminisms series examines how women writers shaped modern ideals of masculinity through their specific narrative constructions. By analyzing the writings of figures such as Mary Davys, Eliza Haywood, and Charlotte Lennox, this book challenges long-held assumptions in literary criticism. It contests the idea that masculinity is a purely private or normative concept and questions the belief that women writers lacked the power to influence dominant social structures. Instead, it reveals how these authors used their positions to engage with and alter the definitions of the gentleman. This text is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in literary theory, gender studies, and the history of the eighteenth century.
