Questioning Nature: British Women's Scientific Writing and Literary Originality, 1750-1830
Melissa Bailes
In the mid-eighteenth century, many British authors and literary critics anxiously claimed that poetry was in crisis. Questioning Nature explores how major women writers - including Mary Shelley, Anna Barbauld, and Charlotte Smith - responded by turning to the era's rising fascination with new discoveries in developing disciplines of natural history such as botany, zoology, and geology.
