Bette London maintains that this notion has blinded us to the reality that writing is seldom an individual activity and that it has led us to overlook both the frequency with which women authors have worked together and the significance of their collaborative undertakings as a form of professional activity. In Writing Double, the first full-length treatment of women's literary partnerships, she goes to the heart of issues surrounding authorial identity. What is an author? Which forms of authorship are sanctioned and which forms marginalized? Which of these forms have particularly attracted women? Such questions are central to London's analysis of the challenge that women's literary collaboration presents to accepted notions of authorship. Focusing on British texts from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, she considers a fascinating variety of works by largely noncanonical, and in some instances highly unconventional, authors-from the enormously popular novels composed by writing teams at the turn of the century, to the Brontė juvenilia and the occult scripts of Georgie Yeats and W. B. Yeats, to automatic writings produced by mediums purporting to be in communication with the spirit world. 410 0$aReading women writing. 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAuthorship$xCollaboration$xHistory 606 $aSpirit writings$xAuthorship 606 $aWomen mediums$vBiography 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAuthorship$xCollaboration$xHistory. 615 0$aSpirit writings$xAuthorship. 615 0$aWomen mediums 676 $a820.9/9287 700 $aLondon$b Bette$01600164 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808793203321 996 $aWriting double$93923155 997 $aUNINA
