Elizabeth Kraft

Women Novelists and the Ethics of Desire, 1684-1814 (eBook, ePUB)

In the Voice of Our Biblical Mothers

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Elizabeth Kraft radically alters our conventional views of early women novelists by taking seriously their representations of female desire. Reading fiction by Aphra Behn, Delarivier Manley, Eliza Haywood, Sarah Fielding, Charlotte Smith, Frances Burney, and Elizabeth Inchbald in light of ethical paradigms drawn from biblical texts about women and desire, Kraft demonstrates not only the centrality of female desire in eighteenth-century culture and literature but its ethical importance as well.
