  A Review-Article of Anglea Keane's Women Writers and the English Nation in the 1790s
Her argument is that nationalism, patriarchal marital and capitalist arrangements, and the 1790s perception of print culture as inescapably politicized and radical turned women who wanted literally or imaginatively to leave a feminized restrictive home into ostracized exiles or isolated wanderers.
Unless they were mothers or performed a maternal function, they were made to feel they belonged nowhere, to no one or had no one attached to them because no one was dependent on their care.
Following a qualified variant of Habermas's theories, Keane shows that in the 1790s and afterwards, the public sphere is "newly masculinized" (8) and, especially for women, writing and publishing become potentially strongly suspect activities.

 Érudit | RON n27 2002 : Malachuk : Labor, Leisure, and the Yeoman in Coleridge's and Wordsworth's 1790s Writings   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This essay examines the equally complex status of the yeoman in the political thought of Wordsworth and Coleridge in the 1790s.
By the end of the decade, however, Coleridge concluded that the overworked yeoman was incapable of converting what little free time he had into true civic virtue, and Coleridge therefore began to examine means other than propertied leisure for realizing one's political worth, such as a free press and (later) a clerisy.
One is that republican theory remained a vibrant tradition at the turn of the century in the hands of Coleridge, who sought to articulate new means, other than propertied leisure, for citizens to realize their political existence.

 1790s Transitional Stays
My stays are based on these 1790s stays in the Kent State University Museum.
They're perfect for use under transitional 1790s dresses which have a high waist, defined bust and are full in front.
Not only does the short length of the stays not give the stomach control so desirable under flatter dresses from the early 1800s, but they actually push your stomach out a little (mine at least, but something I've noticed with other short corsets) which full skirts cover quite nicely.

 The Crisis of Literature in the 1790s - Cambridge University Press
This book offers an original study of the debates which arose in the 1790s about the nature and social role of literature.
Paul Keen shows how these debates were situated at the intersection of the French Revolution and a more gradual revolution in information and literacy reflecting the aspirations of the professional classes in eighteenth-century England.
The first part of the book concentrates on the dominant arguments about the role of literature and the status of the author; the second shifts its focus to the debates about working-class activists, radical women authors, and the Orientalists, and examines the growth of a Romantic ideology within this context of political and cultural turmoil.
