Beschreibung:
Andrew McInnes is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Edge Hill University, UK.
Focusing on the ways in which women writers from across the political spectrum engage with and adapt Wollstonecraft's political philosophy in order to advocate feminist reform, Andrew McInnes explores the aftermath of Wollstonecraft's death, the controversial publication of William Godwin's memoir of his wife, and Wollstonecraft's reception in the early nineteenth century. McInnes positions Wollstonecraft within the context of the eighteenth-century female philosopher figure as a literary archetype used in plays, poetry, polemic, and especially novels to represent the thinking woman and address anxieties about political, religious and sexual heterodoxy.
