Summary
Drawing on her archival research, JoEllen DeLucia argues that women writers shaped Enlightenment conversations regarding the role of sentiment and gender in the civilising process. By reading women's literature alongside history and philosophy and moving between the 18th century and Romantic era, she challenges conventional historical and generic boundaries.
