This edited volume is the first to reflect on the theory and
practice of editing women's writing of the 18th century. The list
of contributors includes experts on the fiction, drama, poetry,
life-writing, diaries and correspondence of familiar and lesser
known women, including Jane Austen, Delarivier Manley, Eliza
Haywood and Mary Robinson. Contributions examine the demands of
editing female authors more familiar to a wider readership such as
Elizabeth Montagu, Mary Robinson and Helen Maria Williams, as well
as the challenges and opportunities presented by the recovery of
authors such as Sarah Green, Charlotte Bury and Alicia LeFanu. The
interpretative possibilities of editing works published anonymously
and pseudonymously are considered across a range of genres.
Collectively these discussions examine the interrelation of editing
and textual criticism and show how new editions might transform
understandings not only of the woman writer and women's literary
history, but also of our own editorial practice.
A novel, which addresses central themes of adultery, obsession and
inheritance. It follows the fortunes of Matilda Melbourne who
displays virtue, delicacy and an unwavering commitment to the
