Description

This scholarly examination explores how reading is portrayed in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century novels, challenging contemporary assumptions about female readers as passive and impressionable. The study reveals that female characters in works by Frances Burney, Charlotte Smith, Mary Hays, Elizabeth Inchbald, Maria Edgeworth and Jane Austen demonstrate active, critical reading practices and develop sophisticated strategies for interpreting both texts and the world around them. Rather than accepting the period's characterisation of women as dangerously susceptible to fiction, this book uncovers the diversity and complexity of female reading behaviour across the era's most significant novelists.

Key Features

Examines representations of female readers in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century English novels by major authors including Burney, Austen and Edgeworth.

Challenges contemporary portrayals of female readers as passive by demonstrating active critical reading practices across Routledge's literary analysis collection.

Explores diverse reading strategies that female characters developed for interpreting both literary texts and their surrounding world.

Part of Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature series, providing scholarly context for understanding literary theory and movements of the period.
