Not surprisingly therefore the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary War, impacting as they did on British domestic politics, had a huge influence on what the British press produced in the years between 1789 and 1802.

  • Frankenstein, Matilda, and the Legacies of Godwin and Wollstonecraft
    2 PAMELA CLEMIT Frankenstein, Matilda, and the legacies of Godwin and Wollstonecraft [My mother’s] greatness of soul & my father high talents have perpetually reminded me that I ought to degenerate as little as I could from those from whom I derived my being . my chief merit must always be derived, first from the glory these wonderful beings have shed [?around] me, & then for the enthusiasm I have for excellence & the ardent admiration I feel for those who sacrifice themselves for the public good. (L ii 4) In this letter of September 1827 to Frances Wright, the Scottish-born author and social reformer, Mary Shelley reveals just how much she felt her life and thought to be shaped by the social and political ideals of her parents, William Godwin, the leading radical philosopher of the 1790s, and his wife, the proto-feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft. The multiple liter- ary, political, and philosophical influences of Godwin and Wollstonecraft may be traced in all six of Mary Shelley’s full-length novels, as well as in her tales, biographies, essays, and other shorter writings. Yet while she con- sistently wrote within the framework established by her parents’ concerns, she was no mere imitator of their works. Writing with an awareness of how French revolutionary politics had unfolded through the Napoleonic era, Mary Shelley extends and reformulates the many-sided legacies of Godwin and Wollstonecraft in extreme, imaginatively arresting ways. Those legacies received their most searching reappraisal in Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), Mary Shelley’s remarkable first novel, and were re- examined a year later in Matilda, a novella telling the story of incestuous love between father and daughter, which, though it remained unpublished until 1959, has now become one of her best-known works.

Ignorance and Marital Bliss: Women’s Education in the English Novel, 1796-1895 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Department of English McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts Duquesne University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Mary Ann Tobin November 16, 2006 Copyright © 2006 Mary Ann Tobin Preface The germ of this study lies in my master’s thesis, “Naive Altruist to Jaded Cosmopolitan: Class-Consciousness in David Copperfield, Bleak House, Great Expectations, and Our Mutual Friend,” with which I concluded my studies at Indiana State University. In it, I traced the evolution of Dickens’s ideal gentle Christian man, arguing that Dickens wanted his audience to reject a human valuation system based on birth and wealth and to set the standard for one’s social value upon the strength of one’s moral character. During my doctoral studies, I grew more interested in Dickens’s women characters and became intrigued by his contributions to what would become known as the Woman Question, and, more importantly, by what Dickens thought about women’s proper social functions and roles.

  • Women's Textual and Narrative Power
    IN HER HANDS: WOMEN’S TEXTUAL AND NARRATIVE POWER IN THE ROMANTIC NOVEL by SARAH PAIGE ELLISOR-CATOE (Under the Direction of Roxanne Eberle) ABSTRACT This project examines the hybridity of the Romantic novel through the twin lenses of feminist and corporeal narratology. Romantic women novelists, in particular, manipulate narrative forms; these innovations often place a woman editor at the heart of the narratives and plots of novels, a role that reflects the increasing status of actual women editors during the period. To this end, Romantic women novelists emphasize the real and tangible nature of embedded texts and often put these embedded texts in women’s hands, a convention that I argue stresses women’s textual and narrative power. I survey how the embedded text legislates power for these women editor figures throughout the sub-genres of the Gothic, historical, and epistolary novels. Though my project is specifically a study of the narrative structure of the Romantic novel, I examine the long-ranging influence of these narrative experiments in the genre by linking these novels to Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

  • 1 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION The
    1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION The Chawton House Library Edition of Mary Hays’s Female Biography; or, Memoirs of Illustrious and Celebrated Women of All Ages and Countries: Alphabetically Arranged (‘CHLE’) is the first modern scholarly edition since its original publication in 1803. When it appeared, Female Biography was the first history of women since Christine de Pizan’s City of Ladies (1405), the first in English, and the first compendium of women by either male or female compilers since Thomas Hewyood’s Generall Historie of Women (1624, 1657) to include rebellious and impious figures, as well as learned ones. No notice was taken of the first two accomplishments, but the presence of ‘vicious and defective traits of several females’ in Female Biography caused much public and private consternation. Two hundred years later, this new edition celebrates Hays as a femme philosophe in her own right and Female Biography for its unique place in women’s history, as the first Enlightenment encyclopedia in English by, for, and about female readers, and as Hays’s major work. It is a propitious moment to produce CHLE. Like most ‘learned ladies’ through time, Hays was an autodidact, without the classical training of her male contemporaries. In the ‘Preface’ to Female Biography, she reports that working alone she compiled the 300 entries in three years. As a consequence, some of the entries include multiple women, or confuse several women, or perpetuate imaginary figures, or are simply wrong – and therein hang some editorial tales. By contrast to Hays’s solitary efforts, at this writing the new edition is the achievement of more than 150 scholars and researchers, representing 104 institutions in eighteen countries and four continents.
