Women, Power and Subversion (Routledge Revivals): Social Strategies in British Fiction, 1778-1860
ISBN: 9780415636544 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First published in 1981, this book explores the reactions of some female writers to the social effects of industrial capitalism between 1778 and 1860.

This concept disguised inequities between men and women, first by asserting the reality of female power, and then by restricting it to self-sacrificing influence. In this book, Judith Newton analyses novels such as Fanny Burney's Evelina, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Charlotte Bronte's Villette and...
