'Reading gossip involves negotiating methodological challenges. Gossip is, by definition, transient. Its natural media whispers, tea table conversations and personal correspondence are difficult or impossible for modern readers to access. It is generically awkward, related to literary forms such as the early novel and periodical literature but requiring a different kind of scholarly treatment. In Reading Gossip in Early Eighteenth-Century England, Nicola Parsons confronts these challenges to produce an original, insightful literary, political and cultural account of the reign of Queen Anne. Her book not only provides fresh perspectives on particular literary works... but also allows Parsons to tell a new story about the relationship between reading and political culture during this period.' - Rebecca Bullard, Review of English Studies
