Blossoms Of Fancy Original Poems And Pieces In Blank Verse By The Autoress Of The Observant Pedestrian Etc

This volume is designed to support investigations into British magazine literature of the 18th and early 19th century, and the study of serials in general. Dr Pitcher provides substantial lists of emendations to published checklists relevant to the field. Also, he has given not only 50 case histories to introduce authors who were published extensively in the magazines, but also compiled an index of principal works by many of the 18th-century essayists who followed Addison and Steele.

This book is the first major bibliography of women's writings of the Romantic period, providing exhaustive coverage of the volumes of verse written by women in English during this crucial period. The Bibliography lists 1,403 works (and 2,585 editions) by about 900 authors and reveals for the first time the scale of the involvement of women in the Romantic movement. It covers publications of eight pages and longer, including publications in foreign languages and translations from foreign languages, and is fully indexed and cross-referenced with complete publication details. Jackson's meticulous work will be indispensable to all scholars and students researching women's poetry of the Romantic age.
