Beskrivning
During the Minerva Press's heyday, founder William Lane published in an extraordinary range of genres. Following the original organizational taxonomy that Lane used in his own promotional materials, Eve Tavor Bannet here explores each: Historical fiction, Terror and Mystery Fiction ('Gothic'), Fairy Tales, Tales of the Times, National Tales, Wanderers Tales, Novels of Education, Female Biography and Marital Domestic Fiction. In providing the first modern analysis of the majority of texts that Lane published, she reveals how the Minerva Press bridged the gap between eighteenth- and nineteenth-century fiction and sheds light on how contemporary methods of imitative writing produced its characteristically fluid, hybrid and modular fictions. These characteristics, she demonstrates, enabled its women authors to converse with one another, intervening in key contemporary political, cultural and domestic debates and earned many well-deserved popularity and praise from those judging by the pre-Romantic methods of evaluation in use.

Recensioner i media

'This deeply researched and eminently readable book offers a compelling re-evaluation of the voluminous outputs of the Minerva Press and reveals how its once derided authors, with the support of publisher William Lane, intervened in a range of vital political and cultural debates about gender, the law and national identity.' Jennie Batchelor, Professor of Eighteenth-Century and Romantic Studies, Department of English and Related Literature, University of York
