Caroline Franklin

The Female Romantics (eBook, ePUB)

Nineteenth-century Women Novelists and Byronism

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This study focuses on the dynamic interaction between Byron and Madame de Staël, Lady Morgan, Mary Shelley and Jane Austen; and the reaction to Byronism of the Brontës and Harriet Beecher Stowe. It thus challenges previous critics' segregation of the male Romantic poets from their female peers, whose agenda was perceived to be different: domestic and social.
