This volume discusses the lives and writings of five nonconformist women who comprised the heart of a vibrant literary circle in England between 1760 and 1840. Whelan shows these women's keen awareness and often radical viewpoints on contemporary issues connected to politics, religion, gender, and the Romantic sensibility.
Other British Voices examines the lives and writings of four nonconformist women - Mary Steele (1753-1813), Mary Scott (1751-93), Jane Attwater (1753-1843), and Elizabeth Coltman (1761-1838) - who comprised the heart of a vibrant literary circle in the West Country of England between 1766 and 1840. These women exhibited in their poetry, prose, and life writings a keen awareness of contemporary political events; a devotion to their faith, mainly expressed in their life writings; radical opinions on courtship, marriage, and women''s education; and distinct Romantic sensibilities in regard to nature and the emotions. Here, Timothy Whelan recreates the literary and cultural life of this ground-breaking group of women through their autobiographical verses, friendship poems, spiritual autobiography, and diaries, both published and unpublished.
