About This Item
Mary Wollstonecraft is best known for her pioneering views on the rights of women to share equal rights and opportunities with men. They are expressed here in two novels in which heroines have to rely on their own resources to establish their independence and intellectual development. Strongly autobiographical, both novels powerfully complement Wollstonecraft's non-fictional writing, inspired by the French Revolution and the social upheavals that followed.
New to this edition is a completely rewritten introduction that incorporates the latest scholarship and features a consideration of the social formation of Wollstonecraft as a Revolutionary feminist and her literary-political career, as well as a critical account of the two novels. A new bibliography includes all the latest critical writing on Wollstonecraft, while heavily revised notes link her fiction to her extensive reading, her other writings and major events and issues of the day. In addition, the text has been completely reset, making it easier on the eyes. It is by far the highest quality edition available, and a great choice for readers interested in pre-Victorian literature and feminist history.

About The Canon Bookshop
The Canon Bookshop is a retailer of secondhand nonfiction, academic, specialist books, antique books and collectables. I am an academic writer based in Haworth, West Yorkshire, otherwise known as 'Brontëville', the small town known as the home of the literary family. The collection was begun by my late father, who began it in the book-town of Hay-on-Wye, where he developed his book collecting skills working for 'The King of Hay' Richard Booth.
I stock predominately humanities, arts and social studies, from philosophy, politics, international relations, psychology and theology, and art theory, literary criticism and media, but I also have sciences and some fiction, including a small collection of Welsh writer Rhys Davies, including many personalised signed copies he gave as gifts to friends.
All books are secondhand but in good, solid condition.
