Reviews

[A] splendid edition of the letters... Todd's well-judged annotations help us understand these letters in the context of Wollstonecraft's milieu and era... By freshly editing and carefully re-dating the letters, and including several newly discovered ones, Todd supersedes the edition produced by Ralph Wardle in 1979. Her edition also constitutes an excellent companion to the biography that Todd published in 2000 and The Works of Mary Wollstonecraft,which she edited with Marilyn Butler in 1989. The Guardian [Todd] has produced an exemplary edition, allowing us to read the letters without editorial intrusion, while providing vividly detailed and easily accessible footnotes. London Sunday Telegraph Informed by Todd's unrivaled knowledge of the life and works...research collections should certainly have this new edition Choice Janet Todd's The Collected Letters will be an indispensable tool for scholars. -- Eleanor Ty Eighteenth-Century Fiction
