Chances are you've also read \u003cem\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/em\u003e; if you were an exceptionally moody teenager, you might have even read \u003cem\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/em\u003e. English majors might add a couple of others to this list . . . but there the trail ends. Were there truly so few women writing anything of note during late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cem\u003e Not Just Jane\u003c\/em\u003e, Shelley DeWees weaves history, biography, and critical analysis into a rip-roaring narrative of the nation's fabulous, yet mostly forgotten, female literary heritage. Focusing on the creative contributions and personal stories of seven astonishing women---Charlotte Turner Smith, Helen Maria Williams, Mary Robinson, Catherine Crowe, Sara Coleridge, Dinah Mulock Craik, and Mary Elizabeth Braddon--DeWees assembles a riveting, intimate, and ruthlessly unromanticized portrait of female life, and the literary landscape, during this era. In doing so, she comes closer to understanding how a society could forget so many of these women--among them pioneers of detective fiction and the modern fantasy novel--who all enjoyed success, critical acclaim, and a fair amount of notoriety during their time, and realizes why, now more than ever, it's vital that we remember.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408315211927,"sku":"9780062394620","price":1375.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780062394620.webp?v=1768582615","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/not-just-jane-9780062394620","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
