Emily Shore died in 1839 at age 19 of tuberculosis. Decades
later, her sisters,
themselves writers, brought out a redacted edition of her journal, less than half the length of Emily's original. A century
passed. In 1991, two of the twelve octavo volumes constituting the original journal,
thought lost in its entirety, appeared at a London auction. The Journal of Emily Shore: Revised and Expanded recovers this material
and, in the process, offers a glimpse into early- and late-Victorian
life (re-)writing. Follow this link to read the editor's introduction.
