Review
"Marilyn Brooks' excellent edition of Emma Courtney situates Hays' first novel philosophically, in relation to Godwin and Wollstonecraft; biographically, in relation to Hays' tormented love affairs; and with regard to the literary ferment expressed in the Jacobin novel. Brooks also provides essential, and in some cases rare background material in the several appendices. The result is that this wonderful formerly obscure novel now yields the intellectual excitement and scandalous frisson that it generated upon publication." -- Sandra Sherman, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
