"If the focus of Editing Women’s Writing, 1670–1840 is a little more delimited than its title suggests, its detailing of intriguing and invaluable editorial projects is itself a celebration of the Chawton House Library Series and of the ongoing project of recovering women writers from the archives of the past. Like the editorial projects it discusses, the volume itself contributes to this recovery project and to continuing consideration of how editors might best position themselves and their texts in order to transform women’s writing, in all its variability from the familiar to the fluid and challenging, for a modern-day readership.
