Women of Letters, Manuscript Circulation, and Print Afterlives in the Eighteenth Century Elizabeth Rowe, Catharine Cockburn and Elizabeth Carter
Description
Using unpublished manuscript writings, this book reinterprets material, social, literary, philosophical and religious contexts of women's letter-writing in the long 18th century. It shows how letter-writing functions as a form of literary manuscript exchange and argues for manuscript circulation as a method of engaging with the republic of letters.
