Abstract
Abstract:The Wanderer, Frances Burney’s fourth and final novel, was published in 1814 through a contractual agreement with the publishing firm of Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown. I examine Burney’s financial negotiations with Longman, as revealed through the epistolary record from 1813 to 1826, arguing that scholarly attention to women writers’ financial negotiations with the Romantic-era book trade is an essential complement to the study of women’s book history, and that letters revealing these negotiations are important textual artifacts of literary production and dissemination.
期刊介绍:
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
