The Routledge Companion to Romantic Women Writers (Routledge Literature Companions)

Recovery efforts in the last 25 years have dramatically expanded our understanding of the numbers of women in the Romantic book trade. Responding to the need for a guide to this important field, The Ashgate Research Companion to Romantic Women Writers provides scholars with a comprehensive introduction to the critical currents of women writers who have already garnered substantive attention and identifies writers who are deserving of further study. In addition to essays focused on individual authors, the Companion includes topical essays relating to the economic, material, and social contexts of women's writing during the period.
