Focusing on the complexities of women's writing in the 1790s, the book examines the work of five influential authors and their struggles within the Romantic literary canon. It highlights how figures like Hannah More and Mary Wollstonecraft navigated the restrictive roles imposed by a national literary tradition that marginalized them. By challenging the maternal archetype of Romantic nationalism, these women often found themselves alienated from both their nation and the prevailing literary models, revealing the intricate dynamics of gender and authorship during this period.
