Magazine fiction in eighteenth-century periodical publications such as the Lady’s Magazine has, on the whole, been disparaged as unoriginal, derivative work produced by amateurs. Jenny DiPlacidi’s essay robustly contests these claims by demonstrating how a range of sentimental, Gothic, epistolary and experimental short and serial fiction in the Magazine thematically, tonally and stylistically influenced the novels of canonical figures such as Jane Austen, Frances Burney and Charlotte Smith. Magazine fiction in periodicals such as the Lady’s Magazine (1770–1832) and Lady’s Monthly Museum (1798–1828), DiPlacidi argues, was, in the main, innovative and original. Far from being ephemeral, this fiction was an enduring and significant cultural form, which stylistically and thematically helped to shape the Romantic and domestic novel.

Resumen:Sarah Harriet Burney sigue siendo una escritora menos conocida que su hermanastra, la famosa Frances Burney, aunque alcanzó la fama en su época y produjo bastantes obras de ficción. Este trabajo analiza Country Neighbours, Or the Secret (1820) de Sarah Harriet Burney como una reescritura muy personal de Persuasion (1818) de Jane Austen tomando como base las diferencias y paralelismos a nivel de técnica narrativa y temas. Veremos cómo ambas escritoras usaron la figura de la mujer soltera para mostrar su preocupación por la marginación de la mujer en la Inglaterra del siglo diecinueve.
