Essays and Poems and 'Simplicity', a Comedy by Mary Wortley Montagu
A collection of the writings of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762), which includes essays (some published anonymously in newspapers), her poetry (dealing with issues still relevant today), and her one comedy, which has recently been revived in productions around the UK.
'This is a welcome new scholarly edition of Lady Mary's non-epistolary worksIt also makes entertaining and thought-provoking reading!' David Doughan, Fawcett Library - Newsletter, Oct '93
Lady mary Wortley Montague's poems, essays, and play, splendidly edited by Robert Halsband and Isobel Grundy...is another reprint, this one in paperback with a fine new preface by Grundy, and ought to be widely acquired. The originality, strength, and brilliance of Lady Mary's work is often dazzling, but never more so than when seen here as a corpus * Eighteenth Century Studies *
scholarly edition...For the first time I have been able to read the full text of her poetically accomplished, but cruel, attack on Pope after their friendship had ruptured...I learned a great deal from the footnotes, which though economical carry an immense weight of scholarship. * The New Rambler D IX *
