New Patron!
Bluestocking is delighted to announce that Nicola Beauman at Persephone Books has agreed to become a patron of the Bluestocking Journal. Persephone mainly prints previously neglected fiction and non- fiction written by women, highlighting the literary talents of authors who were not granted the recognition that they deserved within their own eras. Nicola’s first book A Very Great Profession: The Woman’s Novel 1914-39 was first published by Virago in 1983 and was reissued in 2008 as a Persephone book. The Other Elizabeth Taylor was published in 2009, also by Persephone.
Nicola founded Persephone Books in 1998 and since then it has gathered dedicated followers from all over the world. The Bluestocking team highly recommend that you follow our link to the Persephone website (http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk) or visit the shop on Lambs Conduit Street in London. We promise that you will fall in love with what you find there.
