The Work of Writing

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the evolution of writing in the eighteenth century, this scholarly work explores the professionalization of writers in England and the exclusion of women from this sphere. Siskin employs a 'dedisciplinary' approach, merging literary and social theories to challenge traditional notions of literature. The text examines a diverse range of authors and addresses themes of nationalism, gender, and genre, making it a significant contribution to Romantic studies and an essential resource for scholars interested in cultural formation during the Enlightenment.
