Inhaltsangabe
" Her Bread to Earn focuses on the images presented by the major novels of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, those works that form the core of the canon or that define an important trend at a particular time. Moving through Defoe through Richardson, Fielding, Holcroft, Godwin, Bage, Inchbald, and Wollstonescaft to Austen, Scheuermann demonstrates that novelists of this period depicted women as relatively independent persons, many of whom managed property, shaped and directed events, and controlled their own destinies. These are intelligent women, eager to learn, and ready, sometimes aggressively ready, to act. Scheuermann's eighteenth-century women is drawn in the grays of reality, not in the black and white of ideology.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
The images of women in the eighteenth-century English novel are more positive than much recent discussion of women in the novel would suggest. Women are depicted as strong, capable, and responsible members of society in a surprising variety of works, and while these women are often young, they are not all so narrow in their scope as such widely discussed young ladies as Burney's Evelina and Austen's Emma.
