Emily Shore died in 1839 at age 19 of tuberculosis. Decades
later, her sisters,
themselves writers, brought out a redacted edition of her journal, less than half the length of Emily's original. A century
passed. In 1991, two of the twelve octavo volumes constituting the original journal,
thought lost in its entirety, appeared at a London auction. The Journal of Emily Shore: Revised and Expanded recovers this material
and, in the process, offers a glimpse into early- and late-Victorian
life (re-)writing. Follow this link to read the editor's introduction.

Collective Biographies of Women, writes Allison Booth, "is an exhaustive annotated bibliography of the more than 930 books published in English
(in Britain, the United States, and elsewhere in the Anglophone world) between 1830 and 1940
that collect three or more women's biographies. Two selective chronological bibliographies
feature all-female collective biographies published before 1830 and after 1940. These books,
written by more men than women, feature a surprising range of historical, legendary, literary,
or biblical subjects, of many ages and lands and many kinds of achievement." For an expanded discussion of Booth's project, follow this link.
