At the Verge of Their Proper Sphere: Early Nineteenth Century Scottish Women Novelists

Riddell, Aileen M (1998) At the Verge of Their Proper Sphere: Early Nineteenth Century Scottish Women Novelists. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

Although much has been written of the male novelists who worked in Scotland in the early nineteenth century, little commentary exists on the women publishing fiction at the same time. This thesis aims to undertake a feminist revision of literary history, reclaiming and discussing some lost women writers. It is argued that novels by Scottish women in the early nineteenth century are of significant cultural interest, as well as having literary value in their own right.
