Jennie Batchelor

    Diese Autorin taucht in die Welt des weiblichen Schreibens und der Mode des 18. Jahrhunderts ein und erforscht frühe Zeitschriften sowie die komplizierte Verbindung zwischen Kleidung, Handarbeiten und literarischem Schaffen. Ihre Forschung beleuchtet oft übersehene weibliche Stimmen und die kulturellen Landschaften, die sie bewohnten. Durch ihre Veröffentlichungen und Vorträge beleuchtet sie für ein breiteres Publikum weniger bekannte Facetten der Literaturgeschichte. Sie interessiert sich besonders für das bleibende Erbe bestimmter einflussreicher Schriftstellerinnen und deren Auswirkungen auf nachfolgende literarische Traditionen.

      Jane Austen Embroidery
    • The first major study of one of the most influential periodicals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries In December 1840, Charlotte Brontë wrote in a letter to Hartley Coleridge that she wished 'with all [her] heart' that she 'had been born in time to contribute to the Lady's magazine'. Nearly two centuries later, the cultural and literary importance of a monthly publication that for six decades championed women's reading and women's writing has yet to be documented. This book offers the first sustained account of The Lady's Magazine. Across six chapters devoted to the publication's eclectic and evolving contents, as well as its readers and contributors, The Lady's Magazine (1770-1832) and the Making of Literary History illuminates the periodical's achievements and influence, and reveals what this vital period of literary history looks like when we see it anew through the lens of one of its most long-lived and popular publications. Jennie Batchelor is Professor of Eighteenth-Century Studies at the University of Kent.
