Title: GENDER AND UTOPIA IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY: ESSAYS IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH UTOPIAN WRITING; ED. BY NICOLE POHL
Description: "Focusing on eighteenth-century constructions of symbolic femininity and eighteenth-century women's writing in relation to contemporary Utopian discourse, this volume adjusts our understanding of the Utopia of the Enlightenment, placing a unique emphasis on colonial Utopias." "By posing questions about the inscription of gender in the context of eighteenth-century Utopian writing, the contributors shed new light on the eighteenth-century legacies that continue to shape contemporary views of social and political progress."--BOOK JACKET.
