Opis

Literary analysis of 18th/19th-century Russian women writers. Political, social and feminist theories are applied to study restrictions imposed on them in a culture of feminisation influenced by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Provincial authors Anna Naumova, Mariia Pospelova, and Mariia Bolotnikova claim equality as Romanticism eclipses Sentimentalism.
