| Sommario/riassunto: | Centralizing the prolific English novelist, Phebe Gibbes, in a lineage of women writers of the revolutionary period, this study traces Gibbes' evolution from satire to irony through detailed discussion of five novels representing women's struggle for agency in the context of a shifting British patriarchy and its growing global imperialism. |
