The cover of the October 2024 issue of Eighteenth-Century Fiction journal features a japanese artwork from the 18th century. In the artwork, a woman sits on the floor. She is wearing flowing robes and is reading some manuscript pages.

I sent the ECF October 2024 issue to the publisher: you know what that means!

Abstract: This encounter with The Woman of Colour (1808) began with a 2019 call by Romantic Circles Pedagogies for essays on "Romantic" teaching. The COVID-19 pandemic intervened, as did a personal tragedy that was yet not my own. The essay I eventually wrote was reshaped by this tragedy, as were my reflections on the experimental assignment in life-writing that was to be the essay's focus. My tone, while meditative and personal, compelled me to pose new questions about The Woman of Colour and to recognize limits in my prior readings of the novel (2019; 2020). The Woman of Colour is shown to push past the limits of what (white) readers can say or know about the protagonist, Olivia Fairfield, both because of and despite the author's use of a strong epistolary "I."

Another amazing essay in ECF July 2024:

I'm trying to identify a late 18th-century woman writer (probably a poet) whose surname was BURNET (listed in a text from 1786 alongside Jane Graham, A-L Barbauld, Hannah Moore, Anna Seward, Hannah Cowley).
Anyone know who this might be?

Abstract: In this essay, I use Delarivier Manley's The Wife's Resentment (1720) to examine how my own scholarly reading practices more broadly reflect and have helped shape a primarily cis-gendered, overwhelmingly white feminist critical history of amatory fictions of the long eighteenth century. I have previously read Manley's text primarily as a study in feminist rage: Violenta, the virtuous white protagonist, and Ianthe, a woman of African descent enslaved to Violenta's family, work together across statuses to dispatch an abusive patriarch. However, Ianthe engages in this labour neither for the sake of Violenta nor to attack the system of gendered and economic violation that results in Violenta's wrongful ruin, but to liberate herself from enslavement. This micro-critical reflection suggests that the text offers a prequel of contemporary discourses on gendered and racial rage. Whose rage is politically consequential or imaginatively possible? ...
