We are seeking an editor or editors:
especially for Catherine Hutton’s three-volume Tour Of Africa, Containing A Concise Account Of All The Countries In That Quarter Of The Globe, Hitherto Visited By Europeans; With The Manners and Customs Of The Inhabitants (1819-21).
This will be the second in a two-part set, the first of which contains volumes by women travellers in North Africa and the Middle East (see Women's Travel Writings in North Africa and the Middle East / Major Works / Pickering and Chatto Publishers
We are also still seeking editors for the novels strand of the series (see http://www.pickeringchatto.com/series/chawton_house_library_women_s_novels), especially for Ann Gomersall's The Citizen (1790), and we are also happy to consider proposals for editions of other volumes in the Chawton collection.
