| UK: £39.99 US: $79.99 | Taken together, the fourteen essays in this collection contribute to the discourse of social conditions for literary women. The essays examine relevant social, intellectual, and professional questions about the ways in which women writers contributed to conceptions of womanhood in nineteenth and twentieth century Anglophone literary culture. Contributors to this collection describe and examine several nineteenth and twentieth century women writers’ responses to patriarchal assumptions about literary merit in genres including poetry and fiction. Womanhood in Anglophone Literary Culture: Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Perspectives will be of special interest to students and faculty of women’s studies and literature written in the English language. Robin Hammerman, Ph.D. is a Visiting Lecturer in English at the Stevens Institute of Technology. Her editorial work for this collection was inspired by countless outspoken advocates for women, both in the academy and in the streets.
