Women and Print Culture (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1989, this title examines the emergence and dramatic growth of periodical literature. Based on the close scrutiny of the popular periodical press between 1690 and 1760, including journals such as the Athenian Mercury, the Tatler, and the Spectator, this study will be of particular value to any student of the relationship between women and print culture, the development of women’s magazines, and the study of literary audiences.
