Harriet Martineau wrote in the mid-nineteenth century when new disciplines and areas of knowledge were being established. Reflecting her prodigious achievements, this volume explores her influence on emerging fields such as economics, sociology, history, education, science, economics, childhood, the status of women, disability studies, journalism, travel writing, life-writing, and letter writing. This wide-ranging collection confirms her place as one of the leading intellectuals, cultural theorists and commentators of the nineteenth century.
