This is a study of three women writers: Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley and Dorothy Wordsworth, in whose writings the author identifies covert strategies and a hidden turmoil not present in the grand display of male writing. This series is designed to help the re-assessment of women's writing, seen as an area which has been neglected by a male critical establishment both in academic circles and beyond. A feminist critique is approached by the women authors. The author has written "The Poetic Self: Towards a Phenomenology of Romanticism" and "House of a Thousand Doors".
