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.

Beautiful and independent, Arabella has been brought up in rural
seclusion by her widowed father. Devoted to reading French
romances, the sheltered young woman imagines all sorts of
misadventures that can befall a heroine such as herself. As she
makes forays into fashionable society in Bath and London, many
scrapes and mortifications ensue - all men seem like predators
wishing to ravish her, she mistakes a cross-dressing prostitute for
a distressed gentlewoman, and she risks her life by throwing
herself into the Thames to avoid a potential seducer. Can Arabella
be cured of her romantic delusions? An immediate success when it
first appeared in 1752, The Female Quixote is a wonderfully
high-spirited parody of the style of Cervantes, and a telling and
comic depiction of eighteenth-century English society.

Imlay’s delightful epistolary adventure of 1793, set on the American frontier, was one of the first American novels. The trials of an emigrant family in the Ohio River Valley of Kentucky contrast the decadence of Europe with the utopian promise of the American West. Its sensational love plots also dramatize the novel’s surprising feminist allegiances.
