Anna Letitia Barbauld: New Perspectives is the first collection of
essays on poet and public intellectual Anna Letitia Barbauld
(1743-1825). By international scholars of eighteenth-century and
Romantic British literature, these new essays survey Barbauld's
writing from early to late: her versatility as a stylist, her
poetry, her books for children, her political writing, her
performance as editor and reviewer. They explore themes of
sociability, materiality, and affect in Barbauld's writing, and
trace her reception and influence. Rooted in enlightenment
philosophy and ethics and dissenting religion, Barbauld's work
exerted a huge impact on the generation of Wordsworth and
Coleridge, and on education and ideas about childhood far into the
nineteenth century. William McCarthy's introduction explores the
importance of Barbauld's work today, and co-editor Olivia Murphy
assesses the commentary on Barbauld that followed her rediscovery
in the early 1990s. Anna Letitia Barbauld: New Perspectives is the
indispensible introduction to Barbauld's work and current thinking
about it.
