Joanna Baillie - A Selection of Poems and Plays (Hardcover)

The Scottish dramatist and poet, Joanna Baillie (1762-1851) is one of the most important figures to have emerged from the redefinition of the Romantic canon. Regarded by her contemporaries, her Plays on the Passions were widely appreciated and influential during the mid-19th century, and her Introductory Discourse has been seen as an anticipation of Wordsworth's 1800 preface to Lyrical Ballads. This selection includes Baillie's important poems and critical prefaces, the tragedies De Montfort and Basil, and the comedy, The Alienated Manor, together with substantial extracts from her other works.
