Memoirs of Emma Courtney by Mary Hays
Mary Hays's first novel, Memoirs of Emma Courtney (1796), transgresses literary and social conventions with its outspoken heroine who pursues the man she loves. A work concerned with issues of female dependence, sexuality, and woman's role in society, it will interest scholars of the eighteenth century and Romantic period, and those in Women's Studies.
the editions deserve great credit for the enthusiasm of their approach.. The introductions by eminent scholars put the thoughts of the author and the history of the time into clear perspective. Oxford should be given credit for making the classics accessible for all rather than just crib notes for students. * Jonathan Copeland, Lincolnshire Echo *
