This study explores the gendered nature of the prospect view, or vantage-point, from which Romantic writing, particularly poetry, is composed. The author emphasizes the literary and critical movements that endorse, further, or undermine the gendered dichotomy based on a culturally-constructed difference in perception or visuality, emphasizing in her discussion the parts, representation, and cultural significance of the landscape.

Romantic Visualities: Landscape, Gender and Romanticism

Literature & Fiction

Labbe, Jacqueline M.

British & Irish

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Covering all Smith's major poetry (Elegiac Sonnets, The Emigrants and Beachy Head), as well as the prose apparatus to the poetry (prefaces, dedications, and footnotes), this book reads her work in light of her self-representations as a poet, mother, and social critic, and uncovers a hitherto-unexamined coherence in both content and style. Smith is shown to be both an innovator and a significant figure in understanding Romantic conceptions of gender.

Charlotte Smith: Romanticism, Poetry and the Culture of Gender

History & Criticism

Manchester University Press

Focusing on the "long" nineteenth century, from the French Revolution to the beginnings of Modernism, this book examines the significance of memory in this era of turbulent social change. Through investigation of science, literature, history and the visual arts, the authors explore theories of memory and the cultural and literary resonances of memorializing. Drawing on the work of many of the most influential literary figures of the period, such as Tennyson, Scott, and Hardy, Memory and Memorials explores key topics such as: gender and memory; Victorian psychological theories of memory; and cultural constructions in literature, science, history and architecture. Memory and Memorials: From the French Revolution to World War One employs a range of new and influential interdisciplinary methodologies. It offers both a fresh theoretical understanding of the period, and a wealth of empirical material of use to the historian, literary critic or social psychologist.

Reading Jane Austen After Reading Charlotte Smith

This book explores what it means to read the six major works of Jane Austen, in light of the ten major works of fiction by Charlotte Smith. It proposes that Smith had a deep and lasting impact on Austen, but this is not an influence study. Instead, it argues for the possibility that two authors who never met could between them write something into being, both responding to and creating a novelistic zeitgeist. This, the book argues, can be called co-writing. This book will appeal to students and scholars of the novel, of women's writing, and of Smith and Austen specifically.
