Della Cruscan Poetry, Women and the Fashionable Newspaper (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print)

This book, "Feminizing the Fashionable News: Della Cruscan Poetry in the Late Eighteenth-Century Literary Scene," offers a groundbreaking exploration of the little-known world of Della Cruscan poetry and its female practitioners.

Through a close examination of the works of poets like Robert Merry, Mary Robinson, and Hannah Cowley, the book reveals how these women writers shaped the poetic culture of the fashionable newspaper in the final years of the eighteenth century.

By challenging the traditional view that Della Cruscanism was a male-dominated movement, this study provides a fresh perspective on the literary landscape of the time and offers a compelling argument for the importance of women's contributions to the field.

With its focus on the feminization of the fashionable newspaper, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of literature, gender studies, or the role of women in shaping cultural norms.
