Abstract
In British Women's Life Writing, 1760–1840: Friendship, Community, and Collaboration, Amy Culley focuses her inquiry on late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century women's literary collaborations in auto/biographical writing. Culley mobilizes a compelling and welcome mix of white women's voices, circumstances and texts to argue “for the importance of personal relationships, communal affiliations, and creative collaborations […] in order to challenge the traditional conception of autobiography as an individualistic practice and offer new insights into female relationships and networks in this period” (back cover).
