Betwixt and Between - The Biographies of Mary Wollstonecraft

Informationen zum Autor Brenda Ayres is a full professor of nineteenth-century English literature, member of the graduate faculty and Assistant Director of Honors at Liberty University, USA. Publishing extensively in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature, she has written over 170 articles and 26 books including What Dog Lovers Know about God (2016); Becoming Mary Wollstonecraft (2017); Mary Wollstonecraft and Religion: Sojourner in a Strange Land (2017); and Biographical Misrepresentations of British Women Writers: A Hall of Mirrors and the Long Nineteenth Century (2017). Klappentext 'Betwixt and Between the Biographies of Mary Wollstonecraft' identifies the biases, contradictions, errors, ambiguities and gaps that have run rampant in biographies on Wollstonecraft, many of them incomprehensively left unchecked and perpetuated from publication to publication. It also analyzes how these flaws have subsequently and significantly distorted scholars' understanding of Wollstonecraft and her works.
