Description

Explore the evolution of maternal education in Britain through Rebecca Davies's scholarly study, Written Maternal Authority and Eighteenth-Century Education in Britain: Educating by the Book. This work examines the development of a written paradigm between 1740 and 1820, a period where maternity became closely linked to educational authority. By analyzing a wide range of literary forms, Davies identifies a distinct feminine educational voice. The research covers novels, fiction for children, conduct literature, and various political and educative tracts. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how maternal discourse functioned across different genres during this transformative era. This book provides a detailed look at the writings of influential figures including Samuel Richardson, Sarah Fielding, Mary Wollstonecraft, Maria Edgeworth, Ann Martin Taylor, and Jane Austen. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of education, gender roles, and eighteenth-century British literature.
