Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was one of the most influential and
controversial women of her age. No writer, except perhaps her
political foe, Edmund Burke, and her fellow reformer, Thomas Paine,
inspired more intense reactions. In her brief literary career
before her untimely death in 1797, Wollstonecraft achieved
remarkable success in an unusually wide range of genres: from
education tracts and political polemics, to novels and travel
writing. Just as impressive as her expansive range was the profound
evolution of her thinking in the decade when she flourished as an
author. In this collection of essays, leading international
scholars reveal the intricate biographical, critical, cultural, and
historical context crucial for understanding Mary Wollstonecraft's
oeuvre. Chapters on British radicalism and conservatism, French
philosophes and English Dissenters, constitutional law and domestic
law, sentimental literature, eighteenth-century periodicals and
more elucidate Wollstonecraft's social and political thought,
historical writings, moral tales for children, and novels.
