Overview
- Serves as a comprehensive, indispensable resource for students (undergraduate and postgraduate) of women's writing within the Romantic era
- Challenges the current understanding of the canon of Romantic-era women writers by incorporating voices that remain marginal in spite of the recovery work already done, as well as the understanding of what counts as literature/literary output
- Is a key space for the continuing development of Romantic-era women’s voices as the recovery work continues and new theoretical and imaginative frameworks arise

About this book
The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Romantic-Era Women’s Writing provides a comprehensive map of the dynamic trans-Atlantic and cross-Channel cultural developments that helped form women’s texts, both manuscript and print, from 1770-1837. The entries cover not only poetry and novels but also women’s contributions to fields such as philosophy and science. The entries themselves are organically inter-disciplinary, since poets, for example, were translating works of natural philosophy, and political commentators were writing novels. In a period before the compartmentalization of intellectual disciplines, many women contributed to multiple fields of knowledge. The encyclopedia crosses national boundaries, as well as disciplinary ones, charting cultural expressions arising from continental Europe, Africa, and the Americas, as well as the British Isles.
