This new edition will be particularly useful and accessible. Telling excerpts from Burke, Paine, and Wollstonecraft permit us to appreciate the fervor that surrounded political and social debates in the period and to assess the narrative power of Williams's record of contemporary events. Feminists will especially appreciate the subtle analysis by Fraistat and Lanser of gender in Williams's epistolary narrative and view of the Revolution, and cultural critics will relish the juxtaposition of reviews, letters, political polemic, and poems. This richly supplemented edition will be an invaluable resource. --Margaret Higonnet Author InformationNeil Fraistat, of the University of Maryland, has written and edited widely in the field of Romantic literature.
