Bluestockings Now!: The Evolution Of A Social Role (British Literature In Context In The Long Eighteenth Century)

Challenging the theory that the Bluestockings spanned only the period from the 1750s through the 1790s, this collection argues for a new vision of the Bluestockings as belonging to a chain of interconnected networks that can be traced from the early eighteenth century to the present. The contributors explore the activities of the Bluestockings in a variety of cultural and social realms, trace their influence through the nineteenth century, and propose that Bluestocking practice be reinvented in the present.
