Feminist scholarship and criticism has retrieved the Bluestocking women from their marginal position in 18th-century literature. This work collects the principal writings of these women, together with a selection of their letters. Each volume is annotated and all texts are edited and reset.
These six volumes collect writings and letters by several members of the Bluestocking Circle: Elizabeth Montagu (1720-1800), Elizabeth Carter (1717-1806), Catherine Talbot (1721-70), Hester (Mulso) Chapone (1727-1801), Anna Seward (1742-1809), Sarah Scott (1721-95), and Clara Reeve (1729-1807). The section on each author begins with notes on included texts, historical and biographical information, and a chronology. All of the writings--from essays to poems to romantic novels--reflect the idea that femininity and intelligence are not mutually exclusive. The extensive general introduction in volume one discusses the origin of the name Bluestocking; women in 18th- century politics, society, and culture; print culture, language, and literature; women in ideology and social practice; women in the Enlightenment and sensibility; the conduct book tradition; and Bluestocking writing.

Eighteenth-century Bluestocking women were, on the whole, an upper-class and politically and socially conservative group. For this reason, their writings have been largely neglected in feminist and literary history. In recent decades, however, feminist scholarship and criticism has retrieved the Bluestocking women from their marginal position in eighteenth-century literature. This work collects the principal writings of these women, together with a selection of their letters. Each volume is annotated and all texts are edited and reset. The collection will be of interest to students of eighteenth century history, literature, culture and gender studies.
