The Letters of Sarah Scott cover

Sarah Robinson Scott was a writer, translator and social reformer. While Scott’s legacy presents her as a committed Anglican philanthropist, the letters she wrote reveal her to have been a witty, even savage, commentator on eighteenth-century life.This is the first edition of Scott’s letters to be published and presents all extant copies.

'an original and timely intervention in the growing filed of Bluestocking studies, while retaining the substance and integrity of a lasting contribution to literary scholarship... Pohl is doing a great service by making these letters accessible beyond the realm of the specialist archives in which the original manuscripts are kept.' Women's Writing '[a] welcome edition.'
