Description

Explore the complex relationship between gender and social change in Judith Newton's Women, Power and Subversion. This Routledge Revival edition examines how female writers responded to the social effects of industrial capitalism between 1778 and 1860. During this era, the rise of industrial capitalism created a crisis regarding the status of middle-class women. This book investigates the development of the "women's proper sphere" concept, which served to hide inequalities between men and women. Newton analyzes how this idea first asserted the reality of female power and subsequently limited that power to roles of self-sacrificing influence. By looking at classic literary works, this text provides a deep look into the social strategies found in British fiction. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in how literature reflects the shifting economic and social landscapes of the 18th and 19th centuries.
