- Abstract
Jennie Batchelor's book, "The Lady's Magazine (1770–1832) and the Making of Literary History," explores the significance of the Lady's Magazine, a popular women's periodical published from 1770 to 1847. Batchelor challenges the notion that women's periodicals were aesthetically inferior and argues that the Lady's Magazine played a crucial role in women's reading and writing. The book examines the magazine's origins, content, authors, readers, rivalries, and literary historical significance. Batchelor's research sheds light on the magazine's influence on authors like Jane Austen and contributes to women's literary history and periodical studies.
