Book Romantic Compositions: A Poetics of Authority and Sincerity in Women s Writing, My book proposes a new consideration of the intersections of gender and genre within literary Romanticism to include multigeneric works by women writers as a central form in the period, to present a poetics of authority in the writings of several major Romantic women writers whose representations of authenticity and sincerity hinge on these generic hybrid constructs, and to reconsider the poiesis of authority and authorship through these creative practices that foreground the role of the Unheimlich to such accounts. Writers and their works considered in this study include: Helen Maria Williams, Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, Mary Shelley, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and Emily Brontë.
