Orianne Smith argues that their prophecies were performative acts in which the prophet believed herself to be authorized by God to bring about social or religious transformation through her words. Utilizing a wealth of archival material across a wide range of historical documents, including sermons, prophecies, letters and diaries, Orianne Smith explores the work of prominent women writers - from Hester Piozzi to Ann Radcliffe, from Helen Maria Williams to Anna Barbauld and Mary Shelley - through the lens of their prophetic influence. As this book demonstrates, Romantic women writers not only thought in millenarian terms, but they did so in a way that significantly alters our current critical view of the relations between gender, genre, and literary authority in this period." -- Publisher's description. 650 0 English fiction |xWomen authors |xHistory and criticism. |=^A75213 650 0 English fiction |y19th century |xHistory and criticism. |=^A33712 650 0 Romanticism |zGreat Britain. |=^A126958 650 0 Prophecy in literature. |=^A198459 650 7 Frauenliteratur. |2gnd 650 7 Englisch. |2gnd 650 7 Weissagung. |2gnd 650 7 English fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 English fiction |xWomen authors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00910866 650 7 Literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 Prophecy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01079199 650 7 Romanticism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01100133 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1800 - 1899 |2fast 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 Cambridge studies in Romanticism |v98. |=^A309218 949 |i30372013825705 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s95.00 |tJoyner48 |uJENG |zUSD 596 1 998 3436635
