Further Letters of Joanna Baillie
No Customer Reviews
Scottish playwright and poet Joanna Baillie (1762-1851) is a key figure in British Romantic-era theater. In recent years her writings have returned to print, her plays have been performed in North America and the United Kingdom, and she has been the subject of several monographs and a biography. This new edition of Further Letters follows the 1999 FDUP publication of Baillie's Collected Letters and brings together some two hundred and seventy new or uncollected letters. The new edition includes significant letters written to Walter Scott, Robert Southy, and Felicia Hemans. It also provides new information regarding Baillie's relationship with her contemporaries, her publishers, and the London theater world. Taken together, Baillie's correspondence offers a remarkable five-decade portrait of an artist engaged with the most significant literary, religious, and political issues of her day. Those interested in Scottish literature, British theater, or nineteenth-century women writers will find these wide-ranging letters informative and fascinating.
