Reviews

'An entertaining account of Calcutta . These letters indeed are written with a degree of vivacity which renders them very amusing' Mary Wollstonecraft 'one of the earliest British novels of India of a transcultural love affair between the heroine Sophia Goldborne and a young Brahman. Although positively reviewed by Mary Wollstonecraft, as an animated picture of Eastern manners , it soon vanished from literary history; only recently has it begun to arouse the interest of students of 18th-century colonial literature . Michael Franklin has done a splendid job editing the novel, with a full introductory essay and explanatory notes, thereby making it available to researchers, students, and the general reader. The republication of Hartly House, Calcutta will add a new dimension to our understanding of 18th-century literature and early British India.' Nigel Leask, Regius Professor of English, University of Glasgow -- .
