Reviews
I enjoyed reading this book front to back. I learned so much from this. It is very educational and fun. Cybertron Reviews Kairoff's excellent critical study offers fresh readings of Anna Seward's most important writings and firmly establishes the poet as a pivotal figure among late-century British writers. History's Women This lucid, stimulating study will challenge traditional notions not only of Seward but also of the interstice of Romanticism and late-century women authors. Choice Kairoff effectively demonstrates the quality of Seward's work, and articulates some of the ways in which a reappraisal of Seward might enrich our understanding of both eighteenth-century and Romantic-era literary cultures, and our conception of the writing practices of both male and female authors.
