<p>Analysis of gender dynamics is providing some of the most exciting and innovative research in the field of contemporary Romantic studies. This collection reflects that interest and examines in particular the points at which women Romantic writers anticipate, resist and intersect with the literary productions of their male contemporaries. International scholars provide contributions which range from an examination of Wordsworth's 'Tintern Abbey' to the crossings of gender and class to be found in the English dialect writing of Ann Wheeler of Westmoreland.</p>

History & Criticism

Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) was a well known British novelist at one of the peak eras for female writers in England. A novelist and short story writer at the height of the Victorian Era, Gaskell’s novels weave a comprehensive, detailed image of the lives of all kinds of different classes in society during that age, ranging from the very poor to the cream of the aristocratic crop. Of course, given the era in which she wrote, Mrs. Gaskell’s writing included a wonderful style of prose that still continues to please literary critics, even while discussing the general themes of the day like religion and poverty.  While novels like North and South dazzled readers, her short stories, particularly Gothic ghost stories, caught the eye of no less a writer than Charles Dickens, who helped get her stories published during the middle of the 19th century.
