Introduction
Eliza Giffard (17xx – 1842) was a woman whose life spanned one of the most intensive periods of change in the publication, circulation and consumption of books in Great Britain and western Europe since the development of movable type.
Born into an old family of Welsh landed gentry, her family history read like a story from the pages of the novels she devoured.
