The Works of Mary Robinson, Part I cover

Regularly the subject of cartoonists and satirical novelists, Mary Robinson achieved public notoriety as the mistress of the young Prince of Wales (George IV). Her association with figures such as William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, and comparisons with Charlotte Smith, make her a serious figure for scholarly research.

'There are few better signs that a writer has reentered the canon than the appearance of a superbly edited collected works from Pickering and Chatto ... these volumes ... are consistently edited to a high standard. Variants and silent corrections are recorded following the notes at the end of each volume, which identify contemporary references and Robinson's literary allusions.' The Wordsworth Circle 'in addition to providing an incisive commentary on Robinson's formal and stylistic practices, the book also offers a thorough assessment of the social circles, publishing networks, and personal affiliations that determined the development of her poetic identity.' The Year's Work in English Studies
