From Library Journal
Expanding upon her work as editor and contributor to the Dictionary of British and American Women Writers 1660-1800 (Rowman & Alanheld, 1985), Todd makes another superb contribution to feminist literary history. Works of fiction written by representative women writers in Great Britain from the Restoration through the late 18th century are reviewed and examined in the context of the cultural, literary, and political climate of the time. Readers who have missed the writings of authors such as the Duchess of Newcastle, Mary de la Riviere Manley, Aphra Behn, and Fanny Burney will be stimulated to read them. Others will appreciate Todd's overview of the achievements, trials, and errors of the individual writers. This engaging scholarly work is highly recommended.
