- Description
- From a feminist perspective, Fernández Rodríguez compares FranT and ClT with Fanny Burney's "The Wanderer" (1814) and Maria Edgeworth's "The Modern Griselda" (1805). Dorigen's and Griselda's domestic constraints contrast the ones depicted by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British female writers who lived surrounded by conduct books and the cult of sensibility.
