Immensely popular with contemporary readers, Smith's major poetic
works are foundational poetic texts of the Romantic period. Smith's
innovations in poetic form have also placed her at the forefront of
twenty-first century scholarship on the period. This edition
presents her three major poetic works - Elegiac Sonnets
(1784-1800), The Emigrants (1793), and Beachy Head (1807). They
also remain major texts for thinking through such questions as the
relationship between public and private; the ethical treatment of
refugees and other persecuted people; the position of women in a
patriarchal society; and the usefulness of science as a way of
making sense of a complex and ever-changing world. This Broadview
edition includes a new critical introduction which takes into
account the developments in scholarship on Smith's work and women's
writing over the past three decades, and it provides readers with a
wealth of contextual material for understanding the writer and the
social and literary environment within which she wrote, including
key works by her precursors and contemporaries, selections from her
letters, and reviews of her poetry.
