female authorship in the 'long eighteenth century'.

public spheres; consumption; scandal; sexualities; empire; sensibility;
the woman of letters; feminism; patriotism; politics; men and masculinities;
networks; radicalism; anti-slavery and racial thinking; gardens and gardening;
manners; morals; motherhood; marriage; patronage; education; class and authorship.
Papers on all questions of adaptation for the large and small screen are

the construction of literary history and the changes in critical debate on
this crucial period of women's cultural production. Interdisciplinary papers
which look at the social and cultural environments and at material culture
in the period are also very welcome.
