Feminist 's View in Literature of the 18th Century Feminism in the 18th century has been defined by literature at the time. Women who do not have as many stores as today express their political views through literature themselves. Feminist texts existed by the end of this century, but female writers over the past decade were considered more threatening to dominant patriarchy. After the government was overthrown in France, the British women thought that "their revolution, emotion, courtesy and morality are possible" (5).
A feminist opinion began to exist when women were not published much. In the case of resolving to fight for the rights to be announced, women use literature as a means of exposing their real emotions and desires to be equal in men ("Feminist's Views on Literature in the 18th Century" nd). Jane Austen was one of many female authors at the time, especially in her pride and prejudice work to show her feminist's view. Feminism of Austin's Pride and Prejudice shows early that women are being oppressed by social expectations and how women are fighting for respect and treatment with male partners. The influence of Austin's feminism is reflected in her work "Pride and Prejudice" by struggling her own personality as a woman ("Memorandum on Pride and Prejudice - Education, Marriage, the Status of Women" , Nd)
Many romantic literature of the 17th century was based on love and marriage. In the 18th century, this view, the view of gender, and the position of women and sex have changed. In the 17th century, sex was the result of love and marriage. Literature in the 18th century mocked love and marriage. To put more emphasis on financial condition is an important motivation for marrying a certain man. In my opinion, the literature of the 18th century showed a greater reality of sex and marriage at that time. Despite the strict religious influence in the United States, it seems to me that they do not impose the same rigorous requirements on sexual behavior, especially men.
The stage and page of the 18th century: In the history of traditional literature, the big event of 18th century literature was the rise of novels. The drama of the 18th century - except for some of the comedies of Sheridan and Goldsmith - is considered not important. However, recently, scholars not only realized that this theater theater is still a culturally dominant system, the relationship between drama and printmaking culture is not inferior. The creation of new forms and dramas related to printing (fiction, newspaper, printmaking, magazines) is also innovative at the same time. In addition to writing many writers of dramas and novels (Behn, Fielding, Burney, Inchbald), literary patterns (heroes, sentimental, gothic, ritual), celebrity appetite, words and letters recirculating from the environment Another environment watching
