Contents: Identity and gender across generations of British South Asians: Black British feminism and the birth of South Asian women‘s writing: The new woman in South Asian and diasporic literature: 'Bhaji on the Beach' and 'Bend It Like Beckham': Gurinder Chadha and the ‘Desification’ of British cinema: 'Brick Lane': gender and migration: Childhood in 'Anita and Me'.

- Description
- It might not have the been the revolution that Mary Wollstonecraft called for, but the Romantic era did witness a dramatic change in women's lives. Now-obscure female astronomers, photographers, sculptors, and mathematicians share these pages with celebrated writers such as Mary Shelley, her mother Mary Wollstonecraft, and Mary Robinson, who in addition to being a novelist and actress was also the mistress of the Prince of Wales. This book also makes full use of The New York Public Library's extensive collections, including graphic works and caricatures from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, manuscripts, hand-colored illustrations.

- Description
- The authors argue that during the early modern period, the transition from manuscript to print brought on by the invention of the printing press temporarily exposed and disturbed the epistemic foundations of English culture. As a result of this cultural upheaval, the discursive field of parenting was profoundly transformed. Through an examination of the literature of the period, this volume illuminates how many important conceptual systems related to gender, sexuality, human reproduction, legitimacy, maternity, kinship, paternity, dynasty, inheritance and patriarchal authority came to be grounded in a range of anxieties and concerns directly linked to an emergent publishing industry and book trade.

- Description
- The growth of female reading audiences from the mid eighteenth century to the early Victorian era represents both a vital episode in women's history and a significant factor in shaping the literary production of the period. This book offers an overview and analysis of this growing readership, its representation in literature, and the extent of its influence. It examines both historical women readers, including Laetitia Pilkington, Elizabeth Carter, Frances Burney and Jane Austen, and a wide range of texts in which the figure of the woman reader is important, from Gothic (and other) novels to conduct books and educational works, letters, journals and memoirs, political and economic works, and texts on history and science.

- Description
- Collectively, these essays argue that teaching noncanonical women writers invigorates the curriculum as a whole, not only by introducing the voices of women writers, but by incorporating new genres, by asking new questions about readers' assumptions and aesthetic values, and by altering the power relations between teacher and student for the better.

- Description
- In this study Deryn Rees-Jones argues that the poetic traditions of the past hundred years must be radically rethought in the light of the formal and thematic experimentation of three generations of women poets. .Establishing a lineage of women poets, from the more well-known work of Edith Sitwell, Stevie Smith, Elizabeth Jennings, Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, to the equally exciting work of Sheila Wingfield, and contemporary poets such as Jo Shapcott, Gwyneth Lewis, Grace Nichols, Carol Ann Duffy, Selima Hill and Medbh McGuckian, Rees-Jones sets out to show the vitality and ingenuity of women’s poetry in Britain and America over the past hundred years.
