'This is an important book, not only for the more detailed narrative it offers of this most turbulent of patronage relationships, but for the new understanding it brings of Yearsley's place in the Cottle circle in Bristol, and of the complexities of literary patronage during the period.' David Fairer, University of Leeds

'This is an important book, not only for the more detailed narrative it offers of this most turbulent of patronage relationships, but for the new understanding it brings of Yearsley's place in the Cottle circle in Bristol, and of the complexities of literary patronage during the period. The new manuscript materials that have surfaced in recent years (thanks not least to Andrews herself) are very well used, and Yearsley emerges as a more complex and sympathetic figure, whose radical views were sustained, not abandoned. Andrews's scholarly and highly readable study confirms Yearsley's significance as a writer and is bound to stimulate fresh interest in her work.' David Fairer, University of Leeds
