This project had its origins in my University of Leeds PhD thesis on Ann Yearsley, Hannah More and Charlotte Smith. It took physical form during my time at Nottingham Trent University, and was brought to completion after my move to the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. My debts to colleagues at these three institutions are considerable, but they are by no means the only debts I have been fortunate enough to incur during the development and writing of this study. My interest in eighteenth-century female poets was first sparked and nurtured by Bill Overton at Loughborough University, and I remain grateful for his inspirational teaching. As a postgraduate at the University of Leeds, David Fairer allowed me to hold his very beautiful first editions of Yearsleyâs poetry during our conversations: he has been a model of collegiality and scholarly rigour. Vivien Jones supervised my PhD thesis and endured many an error-strewn draft. Thanks are due to her patience. My external examiner Jackie Labbe offered suggestions for the development of the thesis into a book.
At Nottingham Trent I was fortunate to have many supportive colleagues who helped guide me through the early stages of preparing this study, including Carl Thompson, Claire Jowitt and David Worrall. Special thanks should be given to John Goodridge, in whose company I learned so much not only about Yearsley, but also how to communicate my research to others. My Strathclyde colleagues have provided a supportive and convivial atmosphere in which it has been a pleasure to work. But my biggest debt is to Tim Fulford, who has been relentless in his support for this project and in his belief that I could bring it to completion. I hope what follows goes some way towards repaying him for his faith.
Conversations with Tim Fulford, Michael Gamer, Alan Vardy, Gregory Leadbetter, Dahlia Porter and Gabe Cervantes during various walking holidays in various Romantic locations helped shape my thinking at key points in this study. I have also benefitted from the intellectual generosity of Bridget Keegan and Anne Milne, and Anne Stott and Nick Smith, all of whom have shared their considerable knowledge of Ann Yearsley or Hannah More, and whose insights have significantly enriched this study. Matthew Sangsterâs expertise on the Royal Literary Fund provided me with important new information about Yearsleyâs surviving children. My thanks also to those friends who cheerfully volunteered to proofread my work, despite not always knowing what they had let themselves in for: Alexa Armstrong, Lexi Drayton, Nicola Whitefor...
