Recenzii
'This is an original and fascinating study of important texts by women which will change how they are read. It provides a starting point for discussion of writers who have not received attention, like Harriet and Sophia Lee and Priscilla Wakefield, as well as furthering study of those about whom critical discussion exists, including Clara Reeve and Elizabeth Hamilton.' Lisa Vargo, University of Saskatchewan, Canada ’... a fascinating study of Romantic-period taste...an important contribution to understanding of Romantic-period women writers’ contributions to class-based aesthetics... Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty.’ Choice ’Revolutions in Taste is an effective book that makes an important argument, one especially needed at this moment of resurgent theoretical interest in aesthetics and politics.’ Journal of British Studies 'Much of the value of this engaging book resides in the particularity of its own glance which, in a similar way, combines rigorous close-readings of important but neglected texts, with a comprehensive overview of the political significance of taste.' BARS Bulletin and Review

Descriere
In her wide-ranging study of women's prose writing during the Romantic period, Fiona Price shows that Joanna Baillie, Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, and many others not only shaped and informed the aesthetics of Romanticism but did so by using undervalued genres such as the romance and gothic novel. Price's reassessment of their significance, both aesthetic and political, advances our understanding of nationhood and aesthetics during the Romantic period.
