An Anthology

Women's Writing of the Romantic Period 1789-1836

Harriet Devine Jump

This text reassesses the works of Mary Wollstonecraft, a writer central to feminist literary studies. It provides an introduction to works such as, The Vindication of the Rights of Woman and The Wrongs of Woman. Wollstonecraft's feminist thought is presented as just one aspect of her developing radicalism. In particular, her connections and affinities with contemporaries, especially those generally thought of as Romantics, are emphasized.
