| Abstract
|
:
|
"The Professionalization of Women Writers in Eighteenth-Century Britain is the first full study of a group of women who, though they have been dismissed as mere domestic, conservative, and imitative novelists, were actively and ambitiously engaged in a wide range of innovative publications, as well as in creating the formal and informal institutions of the republic of letters."--Jacket.
