Description
This text uses 17th- and 18th-century literature as a source for studying the women of Grub Street. It explores women's religio-political situation, and in particular women in the London book trade.
McDowell adds another absorbing chapter to ... feminocentric history ... fascinating ... wealth of detail.
McDowell's account of Manley's career and works is supberb and should become the indispensable starting point of any future work on this complex and fascinating woman. For that alone, The woman of Grub Street is worth our attention.
cogently argued ... very interesting and well written book.
