An energetic woman, Inchbald achieved fame as an actress, novelist, playwright and critic.

Reviews / Votes
'Robertson's scrupulous editing and annotation makes the diaries available just in time; the objects themselves are beginning to crumble and fade' Times Literary Supplement 'Robertson is to be praised for his paleographical expertise and for his well-judged editorial commentary...this edition is an essential resource not only for students of Inchbald and her associates, but for all those interested in the literary, theatrical, and cultural history of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain.' Keats-Shelley Journal 'Robertson's edition of Inchbald's diaries will be an invaluable tool for studying the theatre of this period.' New Perspectives on the Eighteenth CenturyMore details
