BISACs:
One of several new books to insist on crediting nineteenth-century minds with their due measure of sophistication. Labbe argues persuasively that this magisterial persona actively critiques Smith's own earlier poetic practice as well as her culture's fictions of identity.
Jacqueline M. Labbe is a Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature in the University of Warwick
