It focuses upon the writers rather than their works, and identifies professional novelists. Through examination of the extra-literary context, and particularly the publishing market, the book asks why and how women earned a living by the pen. Cheryl Turner has researched and lectured widely in the field of eighteenth-century women's writing. 606 $aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aAuthors and publishers$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aWomen$xBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnglish fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen novelists, English$y18th century$vBiography 606 $aAuthorship$xSex differences 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors and publishers$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen novelists, English 615 0$aAuthorship$xSex differences. 676 $a809 676 $a823.0099287 676 $a823/.5099287 700 $aTurner$b Cheryl.$0457399 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783878503321 996 $aLiving by the pen$9181240 997 $aUNINA
