Provides new perspectives on women's print media in the long
eighteenth centuryThis innovative volume presents for the first
time collective expertise on women's magazines and periodicals of
the long eighteenth century. While this period witnessed the birth
of modern periodical culture and its ability to shape aspects of
society from the popular to the political, most studies have
traditionally obscured the very active role women's voices and
women readers played in shaping the periodicals that in turn shaped
Britain. The 30 essays here demonstrate the importance of
periodicals to women, the importance of women to periodicals, and,
crucially, they correct the destructive misconception that the more
canonized periodicals and popular magazines were enemy or
discontinuous forms. This collection shows how both periodicals and
women drove debates on politics, education, theatre, celebrity,
social practice, popular reading and everyday life itself.Divided
into 6 thematic parts, the book uses innovative methodologies for
historical periodical studies, thereby mapping new directions in
eighteenth-century and Romantic studies, women's writing as well as
media and cultural history. While our period witnessed the birth of
modern periodical culture, most studies have obscured the active
role women's voices and women readers played in shaping the
periodicals that in turn shaped Britain.Key FeaturesPresents the
first major study of the key role women played as authors, editors,
and readers of periodicals and magazines in the long eighteenth
centuryFeatures cutting-edge and interdisciplinary research by
senior and early career specialists in the fields of periodical
studies, material culture studies, theatre history, and cultural
historyIn its exposition of innovative methodologies for historical
periodical studies, the book maps new directions in
eighteenth-century and Romantic studies, women's writing, and media
and cultural historyMoves British women's print media to the centre
of long eighteenth-century print culture
