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.

Her most recent books include Women's Periodicals and Print Culture in Britain, 1690s-1820s, co-edited with Manushag N. Powell (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2018) and Women's Work: Labour, Gender, Authorship, 1750-1830 (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2010).
