Reviews

'Whatever readers decide about where we are now, Smith's Romantic Women Writers, Revolution, and Prophecy provides an important analysis of how Romantic women wrote on topics and in ways that surprised and often annoyed their critics.' Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies 'This excellent study discusses writers who, along with their male counterparts, formed the intellectual vanguard of the period … The meticulous notes are a gold mine for period research; the bibliography is extensive, the index outstanding. In sum, the volume is outstanding in every way … Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers.' J. Coghill, Choice '[This book] corrects the gender imbalance of previous work on literary enthusiasm by shedding light on the previously obscured role of women writers in apocalyptic discourse … a tremendously fluent and incisive study, making surprising and productive use of speech-act theory to bring out the performative dimension of prophetic writing.' Judges' Report, 2015 First Book Prize, British Association for Romantic Studies
