On the one hand, the surface plots are conservative, thus reaffirming the social order; on the other hand, numerous subversive narrative techniques undermine the surface stories, drawing attention to the consequences of the arbitrary limitations society imposed on middle-class women as well as to the sense of entrapment and the resulting anxieties they experienced. In showing the increasing female readership ways to negotiate between the behavioural codes of a patriarchal society and their own need for personal freedom, these novels can be read as early feminist critiques of society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613628711063,"sku":"9783631529140","price":6584.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783631529140.webp?v=1775086684","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/eighteenth-century-female-voices-education-and-the-novel-9783631529140","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
