| Research Abstract |
The demarcation of private and public spheres became increasingly difficult in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, when social mobility increased rapidly along with the expansion of the British maritime powers overseas and the growth of consumerism at home. Women were not entirely confined to the 'private', 'domestic' sphere alone. According to her class and individual circumstances, each woman moves out of a private sphere into a public one. And her public spheres existed in multi-layered forms. Discourses by women writers during the period reflect their consciousness of multi-layered public spheres. Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Smith, Hannah More, Jane Austen, Frances Burney, Mary Hays, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, and Maria Edgeworth, all envisaged variegated lines drawn to divide private from public spheres, in various regions of life, such as politics, consumption, religion, communication, and community. As a whole, domestic ideology grew increasingly powerful towards the early nineteenth century, as Evangelicalism gathered its momentum of influence over national life, but it did not preclude women from multiplying their public spheres and being active in them, as we see them in their writings.
