About the book
This book’s guiding assumption is that all writings have a place, a history and a character. From the beginning we decided that this should apply to the entries as well, and that, however brief, they should be attributed. My contributors have given the style in which the Guide described women’s writing in English over the centuries a special liveliness and concision. They themselves also convey something of the diversity of the contemporary scene. They include distinguished writers of fiction, poetry and drama, alongside writers at the beginnings of their careers, graduate researchers and well known academic critics and scholars, freelances of all kinds, and literary journalists. They are men as well as women, and of very different generations, too—almost seventy years separate my oldest contributor from my youngest. What they have in common is that their enthusiasm, and their pleasure as readers in the writers and writing they describe, persuaded them to put their information at the service of a work of reference.
