我在本文中描述了男性/女性省级网络的知识生产，该网络并未延续传统的性别角色。它以布里斯托尔的克利夫顿为中心，涉及社交对话、通信、手稿和私人印刷材料的流通、出版和实践教学。它致力于社会和政治改革，是中产阶级自由主义异议的表达，是中部启蒙运动更为激进的继承者。到1808年，它已对教育理论和实践做出了贡献。出于这个原因，它值得研究，因为它揭示了下一代米德兰启蒙项目的发展，更新了我们对 1790 年代自由派异议者的知识生产和网络运作的认识。此外，其两位核心人物托马斯·贝多斯（Thomas Beddoes）和托马斯·韦奇伍德（Thomas Wedgwood）的教育计划由于难以接近而相对被学者们忽视。根据对贝多斯和韦奇伍德手稿信件和笔记的深入研究，我重新评估了他们的计划。在此过程中，我将其他网络成员玛丽亚·埃奇沃斯 (Maria Edgeworth) 和 S. T. 柯勒律治 (S. T. Coleridge) 的教育出版物重新置于语境中，迄今为止，这些成员大多被单独考虑。
I delineate in this article the knowledge‐production of a male/female provincial network that did not perpetuate traditional gender roles. Centred on Clifton, Bristol, it involved sociable conversation, correspondence, circulation of manuscript and privately printed material, publication, and practical pedagogy. Committed to social and political reform, it was an expression of middle‐class liberal dissent, the more radical successor to the Midlands Enlightenment. By 1808, it had made contributions to educational theory and practice. It is worth studying for this reason and because it reveals the development of Midlands Enlightenment projects by the next generation, updating our picture of knowledge‐production and network operation among liberal dissenters in the 1790s. Moreover, the educational schemes of two of its central figures, Thomas Beddoes and Thomas Wedgwood, have been relatively neglected by scholars owing to their inaccessibility. I revalue Beddoes's and Wedgwood's schemes based on my intensive study of their manuscript letters and notes. In the process, I recontextualize the educational publications of other network members who have hitherto mostly been considered separately, Maria Edgeworth and S. T. Coleridge.
