Description

Rebecca Davies examines the formation of maternal educational authority in Britain between 1740 and 1820 through an analysis of novels, children's fiction, conduct literature, and political tracts. Drawing on works by Samuel Richardson, Sarah Fielding, Mary Wollstonecraft, Maria Edgeworth, Ann Martin Taylor and Jane Austen, this Routledge study identifies how an authoritative feminine educational voice emerged during this transformative period. Davies demonstrates how maternal authority functioned differently across genres, revealing the complex relationship between writing, motherhood and educational influence in eighteenth-century British culture. This scholarly work explores how women writers shaped educational discourse and established themselves as authorities on child-rearing and learning, fundamentally altering perceptions of maternal responsibility and intellectual capacity during the Enlightenment and Romantic eras.
