Although Florence Marryat is now moderately well-known as a novelist, she was also an editor, most notably for the journal London Society. In Women’s Authorship and Editorship in Victorian Culture, Beth Palmer examines her role, alongside Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Ellen [Mrs Henry] Wood, who also maintained dual identities as author-editors. The depth of research and extensive use of archival material make this an invaluable and welcome book.
Women’s Authorship and Editorship in Victorian Culture is available through Amazon.
