British Women's Writing in the Long

British Women's Writing in the Long Eighteenth Century highlights the ways in which women writers were key to the creation of the worlds of politics and letters in the period, reading the possibilities and limits of their engagement in those worlds as more complex and nuanced than earlier paradigms would suggest.

Cora Kaplan is Professor of English at the University of Southampton. Jennie Batchelor is Lecturer in English at the University of Kent.
