It asks: what can or should unite us as scholars devoted to the recovery and study of women?s literary history in an era of big data, on the one hand, and ever more narrowly defined specialization, on the other? Leading scholars from the UK and US answer this question in thought-provoking, cross-disciplinary and often polemical essays. Contributors attend to the achievements of eighteenth-century women writers and the scholars who have devoted their lives to them, and map new directions for the advancement of research in the area. They collectively argue that eighteenth-century women?s literary history has a future, and that feminism was, and always should be, at its heart. 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aFeminism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44030 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 14$aFeminism. 676 $a305.4201 702 $aBatchelor$b Jennie$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDow$b Gillian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156186203321 996 $aWomen's Writing, 1660-1830$92519224 997 $aUNINA
