Summary "There is an unfortunate argument being made that feminist scholarship of eighteenth-century literary studies has in a sense maxed out it's potential in academic circles, 21st Century Feminist Scholarship and 18th Century Women's Writing: Beyond Recovery shows us otherwise. Each of the essays in this volume reaffirms the feminist principles that form the foundation of this area, then builds upon them by acknowledging the inevitable conflicts they or their subjects have faced and the contradictions they or their subjects have lived"-- Provided by publisher
