The Female Romantics by Caroline Franklin
This study focuses on the dynamic interaction between Byron and Madame de Stael, Lady Morgan, Mary Shelley and Jane Austen; and the reaction to Byronism of the Brontes and Harriet Beecher Stowe. It thus challenges previous critics' segregation of the male Romantic poets from their female peers, whose agenda was perceived to be different: domestic and social.-

George Eliot’s ‘The Lifted Veil’
"Literary celebrity in nineteenth-century Britain was a male game, and… famous woman writers played this game in order to change itThe risk of this strategy is one made especially evident in Franklin’s book.
[This book] provide[s] nuanced accounts of how women writers resisted masculine models of influence, but also demonstrate[s] the danger of being seduced by the very paradigm, or paragon, you set out to reform." - Times Literary Supplement
"Franklin displays two outstanding strengths. First, she reads intertextuality through politics, showing that women's novels used Byron to stage major debates about government, the status of the political subject, and the rights of the individual in society.
Second, she reads the individual texts of an author in terms of her whole career, so that we see not snapshots but a trajectory. Since most of the writers she treats were less prolific than their Victorian successors, she can effectively analyze the novels of each within a single chapter." - Andrew Elfenbein, Professor of English at the University of Minnesota
'...Franklin's The Female Romantics provides such an effective outline of women writers' responses to Byronism that scholars interested in Byron's reception history will find much of note here.' - European Romantic Review
