Brimley Johnson is a literary critical work created in the early 20th century. This book focuses on the contributions of notable female novelists to the evolution of the novel and explores the unique perspectives women brought to literature, particularly during the periods of early modernity. Johnson aims to shed light on the emergence and significance of women's voices in the literary world, highlighting authors such as Fanny Burney, Jane Austen, and the Brontë sisters. At the start, Johnson presents an introduction detailing the historical context of women novelists before the Victorian era, arguing that their contributions have often been overshadowed by their male counterparts. He notes that while early female authors frequently imitated male styles and themes, there was a notable shift as women began to develop their distinct voices and perspectives in literature. The opening also touches upon the evolution from the romanticized depictions of women's experiences to a more nuanced and realistic representation of female characters, which became increasingly prominent in the writing of the women discussed in the subsequent chapters.
