ABSTRACT Maria Edgeworth and Anna Letitia Barbauld first met in 1799, when the latter was already an established writer and Edgeworth was at the beginning of her career. This essay considers the lines of literary and intellectual filiation between Edgeworth and Barbauld as they unfolded over a period of decades, from the 1790s into the 1810s. Both Barbauld and Edgeworth worked in multiple genres. The educational works of the Edgeworths consistently, and in detail, recommended Barbauld as a writer for children thereby consolidating and maintaining the older writer’s reputation. By including Edgeworth’s Belinda (1801) and Modern Griselda (1804) in her 50-volume collection of British Novelists (1810), Barbauld contributed to Edgeworth’s canonical status. Across a range of print forms, some established, some emerging, and including the educational treatise, books written especially for children, the novel, and the literary review, we see each writer influence, cite, and comment upon the work of the other. This process bolsters the respective reputations of each; contributes to generic development and canon formation; and illuminates the professional lives of two women writers each of whom is to be considered an enlightenment figure.

Maria Edgeworth 和 Anna Letitia Barbauld：印刷品、教规和女性文学权威

摘要 Maria Edgeworth 和 Anna Letitia Barbauld 于 1799 年第一次见面，当时后者已经是一位成熟的作家，而 Edgeworth 正处于她职业生涯的开始。这篇文章考察了御剑和巴鲍德在几十年间（从 1790 年代到 1810 年代）展开的文学和知识渊源。Barbauld 和 Edgeworth 都从事过多种类型的工作。Edgeworths 的教育作品一贯且详细地推荐 Barbauld 作为儿童作家，从而巩固和维护年长作家的声誉。通过将御剑的贝琳达 (1801) 和现代格里塞尔达 (1804) 包括在她的 50 卷英国小说家集 (1810) 中，巴鲍德为御剑的经典地位做出了贡献。在一系列印刷形式中，一些已经建立，一些新兴，包括教育论文、专为儿童编写的书籍、小说和文学评论，我们看到每个作家都影响、引用和评论对方的作品。这个过程增强了每个人的声誉；有助于通用开发和经典形成；并照亮了两位女作家的职业生涯，她们每个人都被认为是启蒙人物。
