Description

Imagining Women Readers, 1789-1820: Well-Regulated Minds by Manchester University Press reassesses the cultural importance of women's reading during a transformative era. Moving beyond the common focus on the moral panic surrounding novels, this study presents a progressive narrative of female literacy. From the years following the French Revolution to the fiction of Jane Austen, the text charts the rise of a self-regulating reader with moral and cultural authority. De Ritter examines how various writers used genres such as conduct books, educational texts, and fiction to shape this new identity. This book provides a deep look into how women established their own intellectual presence through reading during this specific historical period.
