Anna Letitia Barbauld and Eighteenth-Century Visionary Poetics

Anna Letitia Barbauld and Eighteenth-Century Visionary Poetics

Daniel P. Watkins

Johns Hopkins University Press
2012
sidottu
In this first critical study of Anna Letitia Barbauld's major work, Daniel P. Watkins reveals the singular purpose of Barbauld's visionary poems: to recreate the world based on the values of liberty and justice. Watkins examines in close detail both the form and content of Barbauld's "Poems", originally published in 1773 and revised and reissued in 1792. Along with careful readings of the poems that situate the works in their broader political, historical, and philosophical contexts, Watkins explores the relevance of the introductory epigraphs and the importance of the poems' placement throughout the volume. Centering his study on Barbauld's effort to develop a visionary poetic stance, Watkins argues that the deliberate arrangement of the poems creates a coherent portrayal of Barbauld's poetic, political, and social vision, a far-sighted sagacity born of her deep belief that the principles of love, sympathy, liberty, and pacifism are necessary for a secure and meaningful human reality. In tracing the contours of this effort, Watkins examines, in particular, the tension in Barbauld's poetry between her desire to engage directly with the political realities of the world and her equally strong longing for a pastoral world of peace and prosperity. Scholars of British literature and women writers will welcome this important study of one of the eighteenth century's foremost writers.

Winner, 2011 Annibel Jenkins Biography Prize, American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies. 2009 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice. Against the background of the American and French revolutions, the Napoleonic Wars, and the struggle for religious equality in Great Britain, a brilliant, embattled woman strove to defend Enlightenment values to her nation. Poet, teacher, essayist, political writer, editor, and critic, Anna Letitia Barbauld was venerated by contemporaries on both sides of the Atlantic, among them the young Walter Scott, the young Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Boston Unitarians such as William Ellery Channing. After decades in the historical limbo into which almost all work by women writers of her era was swept, Barbauld's writings on citizenly ethics, identity politics, church-state relations, and empire are still deeply relevant today. Inquiring and witty as well as principled and passionate, Barbauld was a voice for the Enlightenment in an age of revolution and reaction. Based on more than fifteen years of research in dozens of libraries and archives across five countries, this is the first full-length biography of one of the foremost women writers in Georgian England.

Anna Letitia Barbauld: New Perspectives is the first collection of essays on poet and public intellectual Anna Letitia Barbauld (1743–1825). By international scholars of eighteenth-century and Romantic British literature, these new essays survey Barbauld’s writing from early to late: her versatility as a stylist, her poetry, her books for children, her political writing, her performance as editor and reviewer. They explore themes of sociability, materiality, and affect in Barbauld’s writing, and trace her reception and influence. Rooted in enlightenment philosophy and ethics and dissenting religion, Barbauld’s work exerted a huge impact on the generation of Wordsworth and Coleridge, and on education and ideas about childhood far into the nineteenth century. William McCarthy’s introduction explores the importance of Barbauld’s work today, and co-editor Olivia Murphy assesses the commentary on Barbauld that followed her rediscovery in the early 1990s. Anna Letitia Barbauld: New Perspectives is the indispensible introduction to Barbauld’s work and current thinking about it.

"Gracefully written, witty, and empathetic, Leaving Letitia Street has been a long time coming but its rewards were surely worth waiting for." -Rosellen BrownJacqueline Simon writes richly varied short stories about the difficulties of creating or maintaining relationships with the people one may love best: spouses, aging parents, meddling siblings, children, and lovers young and old. An ambitious artist confronts her family's conventional values; a woman who wants to marry finds fault with every man she meets; an accountant, practical to the core, tries to understand his gifted, clinically-depressed brother. A newlywed working woman must deal with a lively stepchild; adult children quarrel over their father's need for a nursing home. A lonely undergraduate meets the wrong woman.Emotionally-charged stories like "Cheats" can also be laugh-out-loud funny despite the characters' high stakes. Although a few characters make reappearances at different points in their lives, each story in the collection stands on its own. The unforgettable Southerners of Letitia Street are as recognizable as DNA, one generation influencing the next, pulling apart or forging ahead, linking the ties that bind with those that are perhaps best broken. This collection includes four prizewinning stories along with seven previously unpublished. These compelling, realistic, and highly entertaining tales of first love, last love, and lost love will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned.

The Collected Works of Anna Letitia Barbauld: Anna Letitia Barbauld: The Poems, Revised

The Collected Works of Anna Letitia Barbauld: Anna Letitia Barbauld: The Poems, Revised

Oxford University Press
2019
sidottu
The Collected Works of Anna Letitia Barbauld presents, for the first time, all the known surviving works of this major English writer, who lived from 1743 to 1825. Poet, essayist, editor, innovative writer for children, polemicist for religious and political reform, Barbauld helped set the agenda for Anglo-American culture for over a century. Her poems influenced Coleridge and Wordsworth; her writings on education, church-state relations, identity politics, and the ethics of citizenship are freshly relevant today; her commentary on books and writers went far to establish today's canon of English novelists. Beyond their importance, her writings are distinguished by great charm and profound intelligence. Volume I presents all of Anna Letitia Barbauld's known poems, drawing on manuscript and printed sources that were not known in 1994, when the last standard edition of Barbauld's poems was published. William McCarthy's critical edition adds new poems to Barbauld's canon, and removes several found to be doubtful. It takes into account the surprising number of early American texts. It revisits the question of copy-texts and makes different choices of them. It re-dates several poems and corrects and supplements annotations. It notices reprints, which played a major role in creating Barbauld's after-image on both shores of the Atlantic. The Poems, Revised, is the new standard edition today, indispensable for all students of Barbauld's work.

The Collected Works of Anna Letitia Barbauld presents, for the first time, all the known surviving works of this major English writer, who lived from 1743 to 1825. Poet, essayist, editor, innovative writer for children, polemicist for religious and political reform, Barbauld helped set the agenda for Anglo-American culture for over a century. Her poems influenced Coleridge and Wordsworth; her writings on education, church-state relations, identity politics, and the ethics of citizenship are freshly relevant today; her commentary on books and writers went far to establish today's canon of English novelists. Beyond their importance, her writings are distinguished by great charm and profound intelligence. Volume IV, Essays and Discourses continues the recovery of this gifted writer by bringing back into print her influential essays and powerful political tracts, and by reprinting for the first time thirty magazine essays and jeux-d'esprit not previously identified as hers. The edition of Barbauld's writings published in 1825 by her niece, Lucy Aikin, omitted at least half of Barbauld's work, all of it prose; and while Aikin did reprint Barbauld's political tracts, she belittled their historical context--the reform movement in England, in response to the French Revolution--and thus helped to create the figure known to Victorian feminists as "good Mrs. Barbauld." Barbauld's importance as a writer for children has long been acknowledged. However, her significance as a political writer is only now being recognized as the British reform movement has come to be better understood. Her full achievement as a satirist and humorist is revealed for the first time in this volume through its attribution of essays she sent to her brother's Monthly Magazine and Athenaeum. Scrupulously edited, annotated, and collected as fully as is now possible, the texts in this volume reveal a writer of sharp intelligence, moral passion, wit, and humor.

Beyond their importance, her writings are distinguished by great charm and profound intelligence. Volume 2 publishes Barbauld's ground-breaking Lessons for Children (4 vols., 1778-9) for the first time from the earliest surviving copies and reproduces these texts in a manner that honours, as far as possible, the special format the author desired. It also includes the first scholarly edition of Hymns in Prose for Children (1781); pieces in prose and verse associated with the Barbauld school at Palgrave (1774-85); her contributions to Evenings at Home (1793-6); the essays, jeux d'esprit, and poems she wrote for children or young women, many gathered by Lucy Aikin in A Legacy for Young Ladies, reviews of educational books from the Monthly Review; and a trove of previously unpublished letters on the subject of education to Lydia Rickards.
