Women Writers and the English Nation in the 1790s - Romantic Belongings
Rather than the standard American story of an increasingly triumphant march of scientific inquiry towards structural phonology, Women, Language and Linguistics reveals linguistics where its purpose was communication, the appeal of languages lay in their diversity, and the authority of language lay in its speakers and writers.
Julia S Falk explores the vital part which women have played in preserving a linguistics based on the reality and experience of language, this book finally brings to light a neglected perspective for those working in linguistics and the history of linguistics.

The Crisis of Literature in the 1790s - Print Culture and the Public Sphere
Paul Keen shows how these debates were situated at the intersection of the French Revolution and a more gradual revolution in information and literacy reflecting the aspirations of the professional classes in eighteenth-century England.
He shows these movements converging in hostility to a new class of readers, whom critics saw as dangerously subject to the effects of seditious writings or the vagaries of literary fashion.
The first part of the book concentrates on the dominant arguments about the role of literature and the status of the author, the second shifts its focus to the debates about working-class activists, radical women authors, and the Orientalists, and examines the growth of a Romantic ideology within this context of political and cultural turmoil.

Equivocal Beings - Politics, Gender, and Sentimentality in the 1790s--Wollstonecraft, Radcliffe, Burney, Austen
In the wake of the French Revolution, Edmund Burke argued that civil order depended upon nurturing the sensibility of men- upon the masculine cultivation of traditionally feminine qualities such as sentiment, tenderness, veneration, awe, gratitude, and even prejudice.
Writers as diverse as Sterne, Goldsmith, Burke, and Rousseau were politically motivated to represent authority figures as men of feeling, but denied women comparable authority by representing their feelings as inferior, pathological, or criminal.
Focusing on Mary Wollstonecraft, Ann Radcliffe, Frances Burney, and Jane Austen, whose popular works culminate and assail this tradition, Claudia L.
Johnson examines the legacy male sentimentality left for women of various political persuasions.
Demonstrating the interrelationships among politics, gender, and feeling in the fiction of this period, Johnson provides detailed readings of Wollstonecraft, Radcliffe, and Burney, and treats the qualities that were once thought to mar their work- grotesqueness, strain, and excess- as indices of ideological conflict and as strategies of representation during a period of profound political conflict.
She maintains that the reactionary reassertion of male sentimentality as a political duty displaced customary gender roles, rendering women, in Wollstonecrafts words, equivocal beings.

Founding Choices - American Economic Policy in the 1790s
The political decisions made by the founding fathers were crucial to the success of the early republic.
But the economic decisions they made were just as pivotal, ensuring the general welfare and common defense of the United States for decades to come.
Founding Choices explores these economic choices and their profound influence on American life, westward expansion, and influence abroad.
Among the topics covered are finance, trade, and monetary and banking policy, with a focus on the factors guiding those policies and their end result.
This book redresses the relative neglect of the economic achievements of the founders.
It will be essential reading for historians and economists alike.
