Synopses & Reviews
With interest growing in the tradition of women's writing, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) has been transformed from a colorful eccentric to an important writer. This book is the first to take her writing achievement seriously, as well as re-telling a life-story which every newly uncovered detail renders more extraordinary.
Review
"The work that has gone into this biography is impressive....Grundy's mass of well-arranged information inspires confidence....The Lady Mary that we get to know here is...a brilliant one."--Times Literary Supplement
