The Idea of Being Free: A Mary Hays Reader Paperback - 2005
by Gina Luria Walker (Editor)
From the rear cover
Mary Hays (1759-1843) is often best remembered for her early revolutionary novels The Memoirs of Emma Courtney and The Victim of Prejudice. In this collection, however, Gina Luria Walker reveals the extraordinary range of Hays's oeuvre. The selections are mainly from Hays's non-fiction writings, including letters, life-writing, political commentary, and essays. The extracts demonstrate her importance as an advanced and innovative thinker, philosophical commentator, and writer of deliberately experimental fiction.
This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and full annotation. Texts by numerous other writers are interleaved chronologically with Hays's writings to illustrate her idiosyncratic intellectual genealogy, how her understanding modulated over time, and the multiple ways in which she influenced and was influenced by the most significant issues and figures of her age.
