Nearly two centuries later, the cultural and literary importance of a monthly publication that for six decades championed women's reading and women's writing has yet to be documented. This book offers the first sustained account of The Lady's Magazine. Across six chapters devoted to the publication's eclectic and evolving contents, as well as its readers and contributors, The Lady's Magazine (1770-1832) and the Making of Literary History illuminates the periodical's achievements and influence, and reveals what this vital period of literary history looks like when we see it anew through the lens of one of its most long-lived and popular publications.Lady’s Magazine LiteratureHistory and criticismLiteratureHistory and criticism.809Batchelor Jennie1346785NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910673910803321Lady's Magazine (1770-1832) and the Making of Literary History3077956UNINA
