Novelist poet manager of farm property convert to Roman Catholicism Jacobite in exile in France and woman unmarried by choice Jane Barker (1652-1732) wrote on a remarkable variety of subjects and displayed an equally remarkable variety of genres. Her multifaceted work is important in understanding the woman artist the shifting literary marketplace and the response of women to a society torn apart by endless wars religious intolerance and a legal and economic system that consistently disadvantaged them. Love Intrigues (1713) A Patch-Work Screen for the Ladies (1723) and The Lining of the Patch-Work Screen (1726) the three novels that comprise The Galesia Trilogy attest to her talents. In all three works Galesia is Barker s semi- autobiographical narrator and heroine whose voice becomes like that of a friend to the reader. The first work an anti-romance celebrated for its psychological realism captures the confusion and ambivalence of the young Galesia as she is courted by her rakish cousin. The second and third works include a dynamic range of pieces: popular tales of seduced nuns and lust for the high life in London and more personal poems about Galesia s choice of the artistic life and her practice of the healing arts. Barker brilliantly structures the narratives of the second and third novels as an embroidered patchwork screen worked harmoniously by a community of women to which Galesia stitches her artistic productions. This literary conceit Barker asserts equals anything developed by her male contemporaries in conveying the truths of human experience. Following the Trilogy this edition includes several Barker poems never before published which prove particularly powerful in capturing life in exile after James II was deposed from the English throne by William of Orange in 1688. This latest addition to the Women Writers in English series will have strong appeal for scholars working in the history of the novel and the literary marketplace Restoration and eighteenth-century literature women s history and the relation of women s textile arts to imaginative literature.
