About the LBP

The Lennox Bibliography Project is intended to be a publicly accessible, open-access, digital resource for scholars and interested individuals in the bibliography of Charlotte Lennox, an eighteenth-century writer, editor, playwright, publisher, and translator who was based in London. The project is currently in the data gathering stages, with this blog serving as its record of progress and placeholder.

The bibliography spans 1747-1850, the decades that constitute her most prolific publication. 1747 is the year her first work was published, Poems Upon Several Occasions. Following 1850, her work largely fell out of print and languished until the latter half of the twentieth century, when interest in her work was revived thanks to the canon-expanding efforts of feminist scholars.

The primary scholar behind the project is Michelle Lyons-McFarland, a lecturer at Case Western Reserve University. Michelle’s teaching focuses are composition, book history, and professional and technical writing. Her research currently centers on matters of feminist bibliographical practice, eighteenth-century print culture and book history, and material culture. Michelle’s CV is available here.
