| How did women writers, despite obvious disadvantages, engineer their entry inot the literary market in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries? an examination of women's correspondence with publishers such as Gerog Joachim Göschen and Friedrich Nicolai goes some way towards providing an explanation. these letters, all unpublished, reveal the full extent of women's proactive pursuit of publication, in defiance of contemporary gender ideology. They also indicate the qay in which women authors were able to use eighteenth-century gender constructs to their own advantage: to enhance the sale of their publications and to appeal to publishers. At the same time, they did not feel bound by the behaviour prescribed for them, and show themselves to have been adept at playfull manipulating the gender code. Correspondence is shown to bridge the gaü betwwen the private and the public sphere, thereby allowing women to become their own agents and publicists in the eighteenth-century market-place | |
