Description

First published in 1981, this Routledge Revivals edition examines how female writers responded to industrial capitalism's social upheaval between 1778 and 1860. The period sparked a crisis over middle-class women's status, leading to the constructed concept of 'women's proper sphere' that masked gender inequities by first asserting female power, then restricting it to self-sacrificing influence. Judith Newton's analysis explores landmark novels including Fanny Burney's Evelina, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Charlotte Bronte's Villette, tracing how these authors navigated and subverted dominant social strategies. This scholarly work combines literary theory with social history, offering essential insights into feminist critique and the representation of women's agency in British fiction during a transformative era.
