- This monograph (approx. 90,000 words) brings together for the first time women’s life writing in print and manuscript from 1760-1840. It encompasses diverse contexts and traditions (Methodist preachers, courtesans, and the French Revolution) across 12 author case studies. It draws on significant archival research, including the journal of Elizabeth Fox held at the British Library (31 volumes covering 30 years and not previously studied) and required a 5-week period of research at the Methodist Archives Collection (Fletcher-Tooth Collection, Manchester). This research enabled new insights into women’s participation in traditions of life writing and their relationships and collaborations in this period.
