Description
Charlotte Smith's early sonnets established the genre as a Romantic form; her novels advanced sensibility beyond its reliance on emotional facility; and her blank verse initiated one of the most familiar of Romantic verse forms. This volume draws together the best of current scholarship.
Reviews / Votes
'Contextualizing Smith as a writer in various genres - poetry, novels, plays, children's literature, letters - and as a major voice in Romanticism, Labbe has put together an accessible collection that attempts to unite the multifaceted public personas of Smith and illuminate the many narrative personas of her oeuvre. Recommended.' CHOICEMore details
