- This monograph explores how women’s reading was understood to be an act of public, as well as personal, significance in the period 1789-1820. The scope of the project is reflected in the diverse range of material it discusses, which includes conduct books, educational works, and fiction. The book emerged from my PhD research, and draws upon three years of intensive research, carried out in the Brotherton Library (Leeds), the British Library and the Chawton House Library of early women’s writing.
