The book The English Women Novelists and Their Connection with the Feminist Movement 1688-1797 by Joyce M. Horner is a comprehensive study of the relationship between English women novelists and the feminist movement during the late 17th and 18th centuries. The author explores the ways in which these female writers used their literary works to express their feminist beliefs and to challenge the societal norms of their time.Horner examines the works of several prominent female writers, including Aphra Behn, Mary Astell, Eliza Haywood, and Frances Burney, among others. She analyzes their novels, letters, and other writings to uncover the ways in which they engaged with feminist issues such as women's education, marriage, and the role of women in society.The book also delves into the historical context of the feminist movement during this period, including the emergence of the Enlightenment and the rise of the middle class. Horner argues that these factors provided a fertile ground for the growth of feminist ideas and that women novelists played a crucial role in advancing these ideas through their writing.Overall, The English Women Novelists and Their Connection with the Feminist Movement 1688-1797 is an insightful and thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between literature and feminism during a crucial period in English history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist theory, women's history, and the evolution of the novel as a literary form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
