What they wrote about women writers, and what their writings tell us about the critics' own sense of themselves as women writers, reveal the distinctive character of nineteenth-century women's contributions to literary history." "Wilkes explores the different choices these critics, writing when women had to grapple with limiting assumptions about female intellectual capacities, made about how to disseminate their own writing. While several publishing in periodicals wrote anonymously, others published books, articles and reviews under their own names. Wilkes teases out the distinctiveness of nineteenth-century women's often ignored contributions to the critical reception of canonical women authors, and also devotes space to the pioneering efforts of Lawrance, Kavangh and Williams to draw attention to the long tradition of female literary activity up to the nineteenth century. She draws on commentary by male critics of the period as well, to provide context for this important contribution to the recuperation of women's critical discourse in ninteenth-century Britain."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a Criticism $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a English prose literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women critics $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a English literature $x Women authors $v Book reviews. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 600 10 $a Austen, Jane, $d 1775-1817 $x History. $x History. 600 10 $a BronteÌ, Charlotte, $d 1816-1855 $x History. $x History. 600 10 $a Eliot, George, $d 1819-1880 $x History. $x History. 830 0 $a Nineteenth century (Aldershot, England) 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171221051843.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825064537.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20110301091017.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC0668B643D811E08B8BE89D6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
