| Summary |
"Women Write Back explores late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century women's responses to texts written by well-known Enlightenment figures. Stephanie Hilger investigates the authorial strategies employed by Karoline von Gunderrode, Ellis Cornelia Knight, Julie de Krudener, and Helen Maria Williams, whose works engage Voltaire's Mahomet, Johnson's Rasselas, Goethe's Werther, and Rousseau's Julie. The analysis of these women's texts sheds light on the literary culture of a period that deemed itself not only enlightened but also egalitarian."--Jacket. |
