Charlotte Smith cover

This book offers a thorough and complete reading of Charlotte Smith's poetry, arguing that we need to engage more directly with historical ideas of gender.

One of several new books to insist on crediting nineteenth-century minds with their due measure of sophistication. Labbe argues persuasively that this magisterial persona actively critiques Smith's own earlier poetic practice as well as her culture's fictions of identity. -- .
