520    Eighteenth-century women have long been presented as the 
       heroines of traditional biographies, or as the faceless 
       victims of vast historical processes, but rarely have they
       been deemed worthy of historical enquiry. The Gentleman's 
       Daughter provides an account of the lives of genteel women
       - the daughters of merchants, the wives of lawyers and the
       sisters of gentlemen. Based on a study of the letters, 
       diaries and account books of over 100 women from 
       commercial, professional and gentry families, mainly in 
       provincial England, this book provides an account of the 
       lives of genteel women in Georgian times. It challenges 
       the currently influential view that the period witnessed a
       new division of the everyday worlds of priviledged men and
       women into the seperate sheres of home and work. Contrary 
       to orthodoxy, in the 18th century there was neither a loss
       of female freedoms, nor a novel retreat into the home. In 
       their own writing, genteel women throughout the Georgian 
       era singled out their social and their emotional roles: 
       kinswoman, wife, mother, housekeeper, consumer, hostess 
       and member of polite society. To make sense of their 
       existence, they invoked notions of family destiny, love 
       and duty, regularity and economy, gentility and propriety,
       fortitude, resignation and fate. At the same time, their 
       social and intellectual horizons rolled majestically 
       outward: in their tireless writing no less than in their 
       ravenous reading, genteel women embraced a world far 
       beyond the boundaries of their parish; while an array of 
       new pubic arenas emerged for the entertainment of the 
       proper and the prosperous- assembly rooms, concert series,
       theatre seasons, circulating librarires, day-time lectures,
       urban walks and pleasure gardens, as well as regular 
       sporting fixtures and the assizes. This lively, often 
       humorous study offers an unprecedented insight into the 
       intimate and everyday lives of genteel women and will 
       transform our understanding of the postion of women in 
       this period. -- Publisher description
