Abstract
Brown makes a compelling case for seeking Wedgwood's voice within the periodicals marketplace, although that case is secondary to her larger purpose of re-establishing "the scale of [Wedgwood's] achievement in both her private and public life. Part 1 begins with microbiographies of her maternal and paternal grandfathers, her parents, and several of her Wedgwood aunts, including Emma and her uncle-by-marriage Charles Darwin. Part 4 turns to the final decades of Wedgwood's life, focusing on her work with anti-vivisectionist groups and her magnum opus, The Moral Ideal (1888).
