New in paperback | Down from London focuses on reading, literary genre and seaside resorts between the 1840s and the 1930s. As the railway network developed, debates about ‘seaside reading’ intensified and inflected the development of new forms of fiction.

In 1617, Rachel Speght caused a sensation when, aged nineteen, she published a polemic in defence of women, but the power of her words died with her. This is a portrait of the ‘forward’ woman, who dared to speak her mind in an age of controversy and conflict.
