- Description
- This book explores how the publication of women's life writing influenced the reputation of its writers and of the genre itself during the nineteenth century. It provides case studies of Frances Burney, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Robinson and Mary Hays, four writers whose names were caught up in debates about the moral and literary respectability of publishing the 'private' through diaries, lettes, memoirs and (auto)biography. Focusing on gender, genre and authorship, this study examines key works of life writing by and about these women, the reception of these texts in essays, reviews, fiction, poetry and other life writing, qualitative and quantitative data like prints runs, circulation figures, pricing and reprinting patterns. The book examines: Diary and letters of Madame D'Arblay (1842-1846) / Frances Burney : Letters written during a short residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark (1796) / Mary Wollstonecraft : Memoirs of the author of a Vindication of the rights of woman (1798) / William Godwin : Memoirs (1801) / Mary Robinson : Female biography (1803) / Mary Hay : (Coda:) Common Reader / Viriginia Woolf (1925, 1932).

- Description
- This book tells the stories of five novelists ( Mary Shelley, Emily Bronte, George Eliot, Olive Schreiner, Virginia Woolf ) and their famous novels. In linking their creativity to their lives as outsiders, this group biography throws new light on the genius they share. 'Outsider', 'outlaw', 'outcast': a woman's reputation was her security and each of these five lost it. As writers, they made these identities their own, taking advantage of their separation from the dominant order to write their novels.

- Description
- This book is a reference source and review of Arab women writers from the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth. Arab women's writing in the modern age began with A'isha al-Taymuriya, Warda al-Yaziji, Zaynab Fawwaz, and other nineteenth-century pioneers in Egypt and the Levant. This study looks at the work of those pioneers and then traces the development of Arab women's literature through the end of the twentieth century, and also includes a meticulously researched, comprehensive bibliography of writing by Arab women. In the first section, in nine essays that cover the Arab Middle East from Morocco to Iraq and Syria to Yemen, critics and writers from the Arab world examine the origin and evolution of women's writing in each country in the region, addressing fiction, poetry, drama, and autobiographical writing.The second part of the volume contains bibliographical entries for over 1,200 Arab women writers from the last third of the nineteenth century through 1999. Each entry contains a short biography and a bibliography of each author's published works. This section also includes Arab women's writing in French and English, as well as a bibliography of works translated into English.
