Exploring the literary context surrounding influential writers such as Hannah More, Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Smith, Helen Maria Williams, and Ann Radcliffe, this book delves into their contributions and the socio-cultural dynamics of their time. It examines themes of gender, identity, and social reform, highlighting how these authors shaped and responded to the literary landscape of their era. Through critical analysis, the text reveals the interconnectedness of their works and the broader implications for women's literature.

This book looks at the politics and poetics of the works that reveal Smith to be a self-constructed Romantic and Williams as a mistress of intimate disguise.
