The Business of a Woman - The Political Writings of Delarivier Manley

The Business of a Woman is the first full-length study of Delarivier Manley, the increasingly important early modern scandal writer, journalist, and propagandist whose most famous work is The New Atlantis (1709). The book focuses on her importance in the fields of political journalism and propaganda, and considers Manley's writing in terms of her importance to the Tory/Whig party conflict, and other contemporary writers and pamphleteers.
