Private woman, public stage

Mary Kelley

earliest edition we have, 1984 University of North Carolina Press, 2002 paperback 407 pages

"Drawing on the 200 volumes of published prose and on the letters, diaries, and journals of these writers, Kelley explores the tensions that accompanied their unprecedented literary success. In a new preface, she discusses the explosion in the scholarship on writing women since the original 1984 publication of Private Woman, Public Stage and reflects on the book's ongoing relevance."--BOOK JACKET.
