Industry Reviews Edited by ten members of the Folger Collective who bear academic credentials in the research and teaching of literature, this anthology introduces the work of women critics during the formative years of criticism as a genre. Among the 41 writers included are a few who are well known, such as Aphra Behn, Jane Austen, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Phyllis Wheatley. But most interesting are newly recovered materials extracted from essays, novels, plays, letters, and poetry by less-well-known writers, with several works appearing in English translation for the first time. The excellent introductions and reference notes they provide along with the samplings of writings will pique the interest of students of both literature and history. A good readings text for college students and anyone interested in the development of literature and culture. Linda V. Carlisle, Southern Illinois Univ., Edwardsville Breitman
