This collection illustrates how ideas of the popular and the feminine were assumed to be equally naturally intertwined in the eighteenth century, and the ways in which that association facilitates the ongoing trivialization of both.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTop scholars in eighteenth-century studies examine the significance of the parallel devaluations of women's culture and popular culture by looking at theatres and actresses; novels, magazines, and cookbooks; and populist politics, dress, and portraiture. They also assess how eighteenth-century women have been re-imagined in contemporary historical fiction, films, and television, from the works of award-winner Beryl Bainbridge to Darcymania and \u003cem\u003ePride and Prejudice and Zombies\u003c\/em\u003e. By reconsidering the cultural and social practices of eighteenth-century women, this fascinating volume reclaims the ostensibly trivial as a substantive cultural contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e  Preface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI Performance, Fashion, and the Politics of the Popular \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  1 Historicizing the Popular and the Feminine: \u003cem\u003eThe Rape of the Lock\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePride and Prejudice and Zombies\u003c\/em\u003e (Tiffany Potter, UBC)\u003cbr\u003e  2 'The Assemblage of every female Folly': Lavinia Fenton, Kitty Clive and the Genesis of Ballad Opera (Berta Joncus)\u003cbr\u003e  3 Politics and Gender in a Tale of Two Plays (Paula Backscheider)\u003cbr\u003e  4 Celebrity Status: The Eighteenth-Century Actress as Fashion Icon (Jessica Munns)\u003cbr\u003e  5 Fanning the Flames: Women and Politics (Elaine Chalus)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eII Women, Reading, and Writing \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  6 The Culinary Art of Eighteenth-Century Women Cookbook Authors (Robert James Merrett)\u003cbr\u003e  7 Women and Letters (Isobel Grundy)\u003cbr\u003e  8 Writing Bodies in Popular Culture: Eliza Haywood and \u003cem\u003eLove in Excess\u003c\/em\u003e (Holly Luhning)\u003cbr\u003e  9 Women Reading and Writing for \u003cem\u003eThe Rambler \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Peter Sabor)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  10 'The Most Dangerous Talent': Riddles as Feminine Pastime (Mary Chadwick)\u003cbr\u003e  11 Comic Prints, the Picturesque and Fashion: Seeing and Being Seen in Jane Austen's\u003cem\u003e Northanger Abbey\u003c\/em\u003e (Timothy Erwin)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIII Eighteenth-Century Women in Modern Popular Culture \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  12 Mother and Daughter in Beryl Bainbridge's \u003cem\u003eAccording to Queeney\u003c\/em\u003e (Martha F.
