The eighteenth century was a time that saw a sharp rise in the writing and publication of literary texts by women, but only in the past twenty years is this writing being acknowledged for its centrality and impact upon the cultural production of the time. Eighteenth-century women writers dealt with a variety of issues, including the political developments and upheavals of the time, and the place of women in society. This response was expressed in different literary forms, such as the sentimental novel, the Gothic novel, political tracts, drama, the sonnet, and lyrical and blank-verse poetry. In this course, we will read texts that exhibit the diversity of this cultural engagement as it was expressed in various genres, and examine the ways in which women writers contributed to and influenced the development of print culture during this period.
