The Collected Letters of Joanna Baillie, Tom 1Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1999 - 536 These annotated letters present the first personal glimpse of this Scottish playwright as she wrote and lived. It documents her problems with publishers, describes her encounters with Wordsworth, Byron, Southey, Berry and other literary figures, outlines a long relationship with Scott and places an active literary woman in the historical and social setting of early to mid-nineteenth century Britain. |
