{"product_id":"charlotte-smith-charlotte-smith-9781554812844","title":"Charlotte Smith: Major Poetic Works","description":"\u003cp\u003eImmensely popular with contemporary readers, Smith's major poetic works are foundational texts of the Romantic period. Smith's innovations in poetic form have also placed her at the forefront of twenty-first-century scholarship on the period. This edition presents her three major poetic works--\u003cem\u003eElegiac Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e (1784-1800), \u003cem\u003eThe Emigrants\u003c\/em\u003e (1793), and \u003cem\u003eBeachy Head\u003c\/em\u003e (1807). While the significance of these three volumes of poetry was recognized in their own time, this edition suggests that they remain major texts for thinking through such questions as the relationship between public and private; the ethical treatment of refugees and other persecuted people; the position of women in a patriarchal society; and the usefulness of science as a way of making sense of a complex and ever-changing world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Broadview edition includes a new critical introduction that takes into account the developments in scholarship on Smith's work and women's writing over the past three decades, and it provides readers with a wealth of contextual material for understanding the writer and the social and literary environment within which she wrote, including key works by her precursors and contemporaries, selections from her letters, and reviews of her poetry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlotte Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1554812844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554812844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadview Press Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Charlotte Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048986996991,"sku":"9781554812844","price":23.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b020c1a-a9e9-435e-88ae-c6c0ae7e44d9.jpg?v=1684998963","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charlotte-smith-charlotte-smith-9781554812844","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
