This book offers a culturally informed understanding of the literary significance of landscape in the Romantic period. Jacqueline Labbe argues that the Romantic period associated the prospect view with masculine ideal, simultaneously fashioning the detailed point of view as feminized. An interdisciplinary study, it discusses the cultural construction of gender as defined through landscape viewing and investigates property law, aesthetic tracts, conduct books, travel narratives, artistic theory, and the work of Wordsworth, Keats, Coleridge, Charlotte Smith, Ann Francis, Dorothy Wordsworth and others.
