Description

Explore a new perspective on the early English public sphere with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book challenges the traditional view that the public sphere of the eighteenth century was a polite and egalitarian space. Instead, it re-interprets the period through the lens of gender and political response. By examining the works of prominent male authors such as Addison, Steele, Shaftesbury, and Richardson, the text argues that their writings served as reactionary responses to the subversive influence of women writers. It brings much-needed attention to the political and journalistic contributions of figures like Mary Astell, Delarivier Manley, and Eliza Haywood. Spanning the years from 1690 to 1755, this study uses a wide range of materials to provide a fresh understanding of how gender shaped public discourse. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in eighteenth-century literature, political history, and the evolution of the public sphere.
