Prolific Ground investigates landownership as a crucial factor in the emergence of British women’s independence during the long eighteenth century. Staking a claim to the nation’s investment in land, women writers acquired a socio-political authority that otherwise eluded them. The landscapes that emerge in their writing testify to the socio-political power of land in this era.
