title = "Women Write Back: Strategies of Response and the Dynamics of European Literary Culture, 1790-1805",
abstract = "Women Write Back explores the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century women{\textquoteright}s responses to texts written by well-known Enlightment figures. Hilger investigates the authorial strategies employed by Karoline von G{\"u}nderrode, Ellis Cornelia Knight, Julie de Kr{\"u}dener, and Helen Maria Williams, whose works engage Voltaire{\textquoteright}s Mahomet, Johnson{\textquoteright}s Rasselas, Goethe{\textquoteright}s Werther, and Rousseau{\textquoteright}s Julie. The analysis of these women{\textquoteright}s texts sheds light on the literary culture of a period that deemed itself not only enlightened but also egalitarian. ",
