- 書目註：Bluestockings: Women of Reason from Enlightenment to Romanticism explores the cultural history of women's literary and intellectual activity in Britain between 1750 and 1812. Richard Samuel's painting, The NineLiving Muses of Great Britain (1779), forms the starting point and guiding motif ofthe book. Samuel depicted Elizabeth Montagu, Elizabeth Griffith, Elizabeth Carter, Charlotte Lennox,Elizabeth Linley, Angelica Kauffman, Catharine Macauley, Anna Barbauld and Hannah More. Together these women formed an important network of artists and intellectuals, who contributed to the central cultural transformations of their time. Women forged a sense of community through their innovative use of patronage, conversation and correspondence. In the bluestocking salon these arts were developedto new levels of moral significance and provided the basis for women's involvement with the formalliterary genres of their time, including Shakespearean criticism and poetry. This book highlights women's role in shaping an evolving national canon of literature. It also considers how the cultural anxiety caused by their very success inthe public sphere of letters caused a new generation of male Romanticsto displace women from their position of power Includes bibliographical references and index "Bluestockings participated in the first wide-scale creation of a national culture. Exploringthe tension between individual and collectivemodels of authorship, Eger draws on visual and printedmaterials and unpublished manuscripts to argue for the enduring relevance of rational argument in thehistory of womens' writing"--Provided by publisher
