Selected Publications
-
Ives, Maura, and Ann R. Hawkins. Women Writers and the Artifacts of Celebrity in the Long Nineteenth Century. Routledge, 2012
In 1788, the Catalogue of Five Hundred Celebrated Authors of Great Britain, Now Living forecast a form of authorship that rested on biographical revelation and media saturation as well as literary achievement. This collection traces the unique experiences of women writers within a celebrity culture that was intimately connected to the expansion of print technology and of visual and material culture in the nineteenth century. The contributors examine a wide range of artifacts, including prefaces, portraits, frontispieces, birthday books, calendars and gossip columns, to consider the nature of women’s celebrity and the forces that created it. 
Ives, Maura. Christina Rossetti: A Descriptive Bibliography. Oak Knoll Press, 2011
As the first descriptive bibliography of Christina Rossetti, this book documents the full range of Rossetti’s publication history, taking into account her books as well as her appearances in anthologies, periodicals, and hymnals, musical settings, and selected translations, ephemera, and Rossettiana. In addition to identifying a number of new publications, this bibliography provides a full account of the American printings of Rossetti’s poetry collections, records a number of manuscript corrections or additions discovered in copies examined, and pays special attention to musical settings of her work.
Ives, Maura. George Meredith’s Essay On Comedy and Other New Quarterly Magazine Publications. Bucknell University Press, 1998
In this book, Meredith’s prose is presented for the first time in a critical edition. Its goal is to present Meredith’s words as he intended them to be read, without the errors of his publishers, and with a complete scholarly apparatus that allows readers to recreate the history of each work’s transmission. Each text, originally published in the New Quarterly Magazine between 1877 and 1879, is accompanied by a textual history, a list of editorial emendations, a historical collation (showing how Meredith’s texts changed over time), and additional lists and tables as determined by the special circumstances of each text.
