Women Writers Reviewed
Series Editor: Ann R Hawkins
As a series, Women Writers Reviewed will collect, edit, and annotate more than 3600 literary reviews of works written by nineteenth-century women writers appearing in British literary periodicals between 1789 and 1819. By centralizing and making accessible these materials, the series will enable scholars in a number of fields to do groundbreaking and essential scholarship. It will broaden our understanding of the nature of literary authorship, of the history of the literary marketplace, and the role of gender in reception; thus it has the potential to change our understanding of nineteenth-century book history.
Further, Women Writers Reviewed will gather the materials necessary for a significant reconsideration of the following areas: the nature of women’s writing (genres, range, amount); the reception of women writers across magazines; the relationship between women authors and periodical reviewers; and the nature of periodical reviewing in the early nineteenth century. It will meet the need for ongoing archival recuperation; identified as being of paramount importance for the rediscovery of Romantic women writers. As a result, Women Writers Reviewed will enable scholars to interrogate the history of women writers in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, promising to be one of the most useful scholarly compilations for Romantic studies in the last thirty-five years.
