About This Item
Manchester and New York: Manchester University Press, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Covering all Smith's major poetry (Elegiac Sonnets, The Emigrants and Beachy Head), as well as the prose apparatus to the poetry (prefaces, dedications, and footnotes), this work examines her work in light of her self-representations as a poet, mother, and social critic, and uncovers a hitherto-unexamined coherence in both content and style. Smith (1749-1806) is shown to be both an innovator and a significant figure in understanding Romantic conceptions of gender. Octavo: 180 p. with 10 illustrations. Original brown cloth binding, with gilt titles. A crisp, unread copy. Light rubbing to the dust jacket; else near fine.
