Review
"Carolyn Woodward's edition of The Cry offers not only an accessible modern edition of this historical work, but a thoroughly researched critical introduction and a full set of annotations that show the deeply learned quality and astonishing reach of Fielding and Collier's writing. For feminist scholars and historians, her editorial effort here can hardly be overstated." -- Ruth Salvaggio, author of Hearing Sappho in New Orleans: The Call of Poetry from Congo Square to the Ninth Ward
