During the Romantic period, the language of prospect saturates literary, cultural, political and social representation. This book is the first to recognize and draw together the strands of prospect terminology and link them directly to the cultural construction of gender as figured through the ideologies of property and visuality. In doing so it emphasizes the overlooked association of point of view with expectations of gender.".
