A lively and far-ranging interest in place(s), space(s), and
situation characterizes the writing of the British Romantic-era
author Charlotte Smith (1749-1806). Smith repeatedly questions what
it means to be British in her literature. In an era of intense
nationalism, Smith explores her world in cosmopolitan terms.
Placing Charlotte Smith offers new insights into how Smith utilized
the idea of place in multiple ways, such as a theme, an idea, a
principle, or a metaphor. Several chapters in the collection
examine of Smith's own frequent change of location and the effect
on these moves had on her conceptions of home and well-being. Other
chapters analyze Smith's accounts of radicalism and patriotism in
terms of family and locate Smith's literature within comedic,
aesthetic, and scientific traditions. This volume of original
essays advances contemporary understanding of two overarching
themes in Smith studies: her place as a writer central to her
period, and her contribution to the creation of "place" as a thing
of social and literary importance.
