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. 410 0$aEdinburgh critical studies in romanticism. 517 $aLady?s Magazine 606 $aWomen's periodicals, English 615 0$aWomen's periodicals, English. 676 $a052 700 $aBatchelor$b Jennie$f1976-$01108478 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996487160003316 996 $aThe lady's magazine (1770 - 1832) and the making of literary history$92967053 997 $aUNISA
