- Description
- This publication explores the cultural representation of the female critic in Victorian Britain, focusing especially on how women writers imagined themselves – in literary essays, periodical reviews, and even works of fiction - as participants in complex networks of literary exchange. This study begins by looking at the eighteenth century, and examines a series of case studies that illuminate how women writers engaged with the forms of intellectual sociability that defined nineteenth-century criticism - including critical dialogue, the club, the salon, and the publishing firm.
