Making the novel-readers of a country: pleasure and the practised reader -- Bibliography -- Index'Imagining Women Readers' reassesses the cultural significance of women's reading in the period 1789-1820. While much attention has been paid to the moral panic provoked by novel-reading during this period, this study offers a more progressive and enabling narrative. From the turbulent years following the French Revolution to the fiction of Jane Austen, 'Imagining Women Readers' charts the rise of a self-regulating reader, who possesses both moral and cultural authority.English literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismWomenBooks and readingGreat BritainHistory18th centuryEnglish literature19th centuryHistory and criticismWomenBooks and readingGreat BritainHistory19th centuryWomen and literatureGreat BritainHistory18th centuryWomen and literatureGreat BritainHistory19th centuryAuthors and readersGreat BritainHistory18th centuryAuthors and readersGreat BritainHistory19th centuryEnglish literature18th centuryHistory and criticismLiteraturemupGender Studies: WomenbicsscSOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's StudiesbisachLiterary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writersthemaGreat BritainfastEducation.Femininity.Labour.Leisure.Private.Public.Readers.Reading.English literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.WomenBooks and readingHistoryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.WomenBooks and readingHistoryWomen and literatureHistoryWomen and literatureHistoryAuthors and readersHistoryAuthors and readersHistoryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.LiteratureGender Studies: WomenSOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's StudiesLiterary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writers820.9928709033De Ritter Richard1678033UkMaJRUBOOK9910826902303321Imagining women readers, 1789-18204045380UNINA
