An interdisciplinary study of women and language in England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, this book utilizes a range of evidence gleaned from language texts, schoolbooks, diaries, letters, conduct books, and works of literature (notably the novels of Jane Austen). The author shows how eighteenth-century English women strategically used the stereotype of "woman's language" while insisting implicitly that gender was not always the most salient feature of their identities. "Speaking Volumes is a wonderfully rewarding and eloquent book. It is well written, original, and full, and it will make a difference in the way this period is theorized and read." - Claudia L. Johnson, Princeton University "Against generalizing views of women's speech and silence, Speaking Volumes unearths the inventive richness of individual speakers in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries." - Andrew H. Miller, Studies in English Literature
