Smollett's Women: A Study in an Eighteenth-Century Masculine Sensibility (Contributions to the Study of World Literature) - Hardcover
Although Smollett's obvious masculine sensibility has become a commonplace in criticism of the 18th-century novel, the basis and particularities of that sensibility have never been examined. In actuality, his treatment of women--heroines, victims, and comic or grotesque--proves far more complex than conventional commentary suggests. This study attempts to show that in each category Smollett's treatment depends on the fictional purposes that these characters serve in his novels.

About the Author:
This study attempts to show that for each of Smollett's fictional women (heroines, victims, and comic or grotesque), his treatment of them depends upon the fictional purposes that these characters serve in his novels.
ROBERT D. SPECTOR is Professor Emeritus of English and Coordinator of both the divisions of Humanities and of Communications, Fine and Performing Arts at Long Island University-Brooklyn. He is the author of over 400 articles and nine books, many of them on Smollett or aspects of 18th-century English literature, including Tobias George Smollett (1989), Tobias Smollett: A Reference Guide (1980), The English Gothic (1983), Backgrounds to Restoration and Eighteenth Century English Literature (1989), and Political Controversy (Greenwood Press, 1992).
