Editorials
From the Publisher
"An engaging, useful book and an important project in cultural history. Susan Coultrap-McQuin shows how the nineteenth-century American explosion of published women writers (here, white, middle-class women published by mainstream houses) was both facilitated and constrained by the contemporary publishing industry and by prevailing Victorian ideas about authorship."—American Studies International"A densely textured account of the entry into the literary marketplace of five strategically chosen women authors. It puts their work in a context that has so far been missing from the existing criticism, and does so in a way that is both instructive and satisfying. Everyone working in the field of nineteenth-century American women's writing should be grateful to Susan Coultrap-McQuin for the effort she has put into unearthing the information she has so intelligently gathered here."—Jane Tompkins, Duke University
