Through the fiction of Phebe Gibbes (1764–90): Women, alienation, and prodigality in the long eighteenth century

Kathryn Freeman

4.9/5 (28249 ratings)

Description:Through the Fiction of Phebe Gibbes places this prolific, newly recovered English writer at the centre of the revolutionary period. Gibbes’s novels mark the struggles of women for agency in an expanding British empire, from the Seven Years’ War to revolutions in American, Haiti and France. With Gibbes as a nexus in a lineage of women writers from Aphra Behn to Jane Austen, Kathryn S. Freeman offers a valuable perspective on the 'long eighteenth century', with Gibbes’ own evolution mirroring that of the larger period. The study traces the development of Gibbes’ authorial voice from satire to irony through a range of female characters subverting patriarchal oppression. Freeman guides the reader through patterns of narrative voice, concerns with gender and sexuality, and elements of wordplay through detailed discussion of five novels representing Gibbes’ evolving representation of a subversive female subjectivity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
