	In this paper, I will consider the ways in which female literary networks come into being, and are maintained, expanded and perpetuated through the practice of shared reading, and shared comments about reading matter. I will discuss the correspondence of [http://www.databasewomenwriters.nl/author.asp?authorID=1034 Mary Russell Mitford] and [http://www.databasewomenwriters.nl/author.asp?authorID=118 Elizabeth Barrett Browning], two literary women at the centers of separate but overlapping literary networks, to show how knowledge and ideas about books and writers of various nationalities pass between them, and circulate amongst the other members of the networks. One of the most striking features of female literary networks is their sophisticated understanding of the demands of friendship, and I will focus briefly on the ways in which this understanding creates a particular kind of language and vocabulary to be used about books and writers. Close attention to such language tells us much about the unwritten assumptions, codes and practices of female literary networks.
