Equivocal Beings by Claudia Johnson
Focusing on the work of Mary Wollstonecraft, Ann Radcliffe, Frances Burney and Jane Austen, this book examines the relationships between politics, gender and feeling. It treats the qualities that were once seen to mar their work as strategies of representation during a time of political change.
