Analysis of gender dynamics is providing some of the most exciting and
innovative research in the field of contemporary Romantic studies. This
collection reflects that interest and examines in particular the points
at which women Romantic writers anticipate, resist and intersect with
the literary productions of their male contemporaries. International
scholars provide contributions which range from an examination of
Wordsworth's 'Tintern Abbey' to the crossings of gender and class to be
found in the English dialect writing of Ann Wheeler of Westmoreland.
