- Summary:
- The infamously popular London publisher William Lane made a name for himself and his Press, 'Minerva', by courting debuting female authors and selling their novels wholesale as circulating-library collections. Minerva's Gothics puts Minerva novels back into conversation with each other and with the day's influential literary and philosophical texts.
