Ennis and E. Joe Johnson, delves into the literary, cultural, and theatrical contributions of Elizabeth Inchbald during the long eighteenth century. The book pays tribute to Annibel Jenkins, whose scholarship on Inchbald's work offers a detailed economic biography, highlighting her influence as a dramatist, novelist, and critic. Inchbald's career is explored through the lens of her relationships with contemporary literary figures and her development of the 'Inchbald Woman,' a character type symbolizing female independence and competence. The essays also examine Inchbald's impact on Georgian and Regency culture, her interactions with notable figures like Mary Shelley and Sarah Siddons, and her role in shaping theatrical and literary networks. This scholarly work is intended for an audience interested in eighteenth-century studies, literature, and theatre history.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$7Generated by AI 606 $aWomen authors, English$7Generated by AI 615 0$aEnglish literature 615 0$aWomen authors, English 676 $a828.609 700 $aEnnis$b Daniel J$01793188 701 $aJohnson$b E.
