This dissertation explores four British women writers' articulation of nationhood from the second half of the eighteenth century to the early decades of the nineteenth-century. The one historian, two poets, and one novelist featured---Catharine Macaulay, Ann Yearsley, Anna Barbauld, and Sydney Owenson---respectively, do not adhere to a unified concept of nation. They present concepts of nation and nationalism that diverge based on their subject matter, genre and its formal elements, years of composition, and socio-intellectual/ economic backgrounds, yet they agree on the idea of a more inclusive and accommodating nation that respects the rights of all peoples ruled by the Empire. Together, they contribute to an alternative perspective on national history that does not hinge on territorial expansion or economic gain alone.

520 $a Following an introduction to the discourse of nation, Macaulay's The History of England in eight volumes (1763--1783) presents an in-depth treatment of the British Commonwealth that strongly supports the ideals of universal liberty, reason, and rights of the people. Yearsley's Poem on the Inhumanity of the Slave Trade (1788) advocates sympathy for African slaves as part of a patriotic and economic agenda, while Owenson's novel The Wild Irish Girl is a national tale proposing better treatment of British subjects in Ireland, and appreciation of the people's rich heritage to fulfill the more ideal Union between England and Ireland in spirit. Barbauld's Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, A Poem presents her view of history from the distance of time and space, focusing on the prolonged afterlife of the British Empire in the form of cultural imperialism. In all, the way these women writers respond to and represent the British nation suggests their beliefs that an inclusive nation is a more durable, ethical, and respected nation.
