How and to what extent did women writers shape and inform the aesthetics of Romanticism? Were undervalued genres such as the romance, gothic fiction, the tale, and the sentimental and philosophical novel part of a revolution leading to newer, more democratic models of taste? Fiona Price takes up these important questions in her wide-ranging study of women's prose writing during an extended Romantic period. While she offers a re-evaluation of major women writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Maria Edgeworth, Ann Radcliffe and Charlotte Smith, Price also places emphasis on less well-known figures, including Joanna Baillie, Anna Letitia Barbauld, Elizabeth Hamilton and Priscilla Wakefield. The revolution in taste occasioned by their writing, she argues, was not only aesthetic but, following in the wake of British debates on the French Revolution, politically charged. Her book departs from previous studies of aesthetics that emphasize the differences between male and female writers or focus on higher status literary forms such as the treatise. In demonstrating that women writers' discussion of taste can be understood as an intervention at the most fundamental level of political involvement, Price advances our understanding of Romantic aesthetics.

Redefines the British historical novel as a key site in the construction of British national identityThe British historical novel has often been defined in the terms set by Walter Scott’s fiction, as a reflection on a clear break between past and present. Returning to the range of historical fiction written before Scott, Reinventing Liberty challenges this view by returning us to the rich range of historical novels written in the late eighteenth-century. It explores how these works participated in a contentious debate concerning political change and British national identity. Ranging across well-known writers, like William Godwin, Horace Walpole and Frances Burney, to lesser-known figures, such as Cornelia Ellis Knight and Jane Porter, Reinventing Liberty reveals how history becomes a site to rethink Britain as ‘land of liberty’ and it positions Scott in relation to this tradition.Key FeaturesRecovers the richness of the historical novel and history writing before Walter Scott, including the contribution of women writers to this debateExplores how historical fiction probes anxieties at the rise of commerce, the question of empire, and radical political changeRewrites our understanding of Scott and his relation to the earlier British historical novel

Claim your power! Take control of your mind, your body and your world, and change your life. Develop self-awareness and discover the mindsets that hinder you, so you can harness the power of thought, perfect the art of manifestation and create more of what you want, including health, balance, peace, abundance and happiness. Discover ways to bounce back quicker when things go belly-up, make intuition your best guidance, improve your decision-making, create synchronicity, connect with nature and live gracefully. These are some of the self-management skills that will enable you to think smarter and act smarter, make changes that stick, and become more of the person you want to be.

''The Ultimate Relationship'' is a kaleidoscope of survival strategies for life, business, and just about everything, gleaned over a 20 year period in the author''s life. It also reflects her quest to become a bigger, grander version of herself. Profoundly personal and honest, Fiona Price narrates her experience through a collection of journals, blogs, talks, articles, poems, affirmations, insights and epiphanies, which reflect contrasting phases of living, working and being.

She offers a uniquely female perspective on entrepreneurship, having built a leading-edge women''s business and participated in the early days of women''s networking. After transforming from ''city-professional to semi-feral'', Fiona then shares the trials and tribulations of rewilding in Wales. Having also competed in sport at international level, health and fitness play an important part in Fiona''s journey, too.

"The book tells my story from the inside out. It explains how I have worked on taking control of my mind, body and my world. It''s part narrative, part insight, woven into a guide to practical spirituality and intuitive intelligence, interlaced with a quantum version of psychology. I hope it will help the reader to step out of an old ''problem-reaction-survival'' paradigm, which is the norm in our world, into a more elegant consciousness. One that enables them to be more authentic, harness their true power and create more of the life they want."

Fiona''s book is insightful, wise, anecdotal and funny. She''s the archetypal 21st century women, who''s been there and done it. Her book will inspire you to think and act differently. The takeaway is a treasure-trove of wisdom and a myriad of practical ways to raise your game, whilst remaining peaceful amidst the chaos of life. The book is a ''go-to'' source for support, encouragement and guidance.
