Resumen

Las mujeres del siglo XVIII desempeñaron un papel activo en la producción cultural británica. En aquel momento, algunas publicaciones periódicas eran de gran valor, especialmente a la hora de proporcionar información sobre autores y sus obras. Este documento examina la representación de Elizabeth Montagu y de Anna Letitia Barbauld en The Westminster Magazine. El énfasis principal recae en cómo se percibieron y presentaron al público estas dos autoras y en cómo se dio cobertura a su contribución al ámbito literario. Además, se hace hincapié en la influencia de este tipo de publicaciones en las opiniones y percepciones del lector.
