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. 517 $aLady?s Magazine 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809 700 $aBatchelor$b Jennie$01346785 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910673910803321 996 $aLady's Magazine (1770-1832) and the Making of Literary History$93077956 997 $aUNINA
