Harriet Martineau responds to the strong revival of interest in her
life and writing, exploring Martineau's controversial views through
her innovative use of popular cultural forms-journalism, travel
writing, didactic fiction, novels, translation, autobiography and
history. This is the first collection of essays to revisit and
reassess Martineau's leading place in Victorian culture and in the
development of nineteenth-century liberalism. Distinguished
contributors-including Isobel Armstrong, Lauren Goodlad, Catherine
Hall, Deborah Logan and Linda Peterson-offer critical analyses of
her trailblazing career as a professional 'woman of letters'. The
essays collected here move from personal to global concerns in
Martineau's oeuvre. The opening essays centre on her bold
self-fashioning as a writer, while the second section focuses on
the domestic complexities of laissez-faire liberalism in her
economic and social vision. Finally, the volume analyses her
provocative writings on race, Empire and history - from Atlantic
slavery to the Indian Mutiny - demonstrating the international
breadth and impact of a remarkable career. -- .
