Examining the unpublished letters and manuscripts of the poet Anna Seward (1742-1809) Teresa Barnard provides a fresh perspective on her life and historical milieu that restores and problematizes Seward's carefully constructed narrative of her life. Barnard's biography of Seward not only challenges what is known about Seward but provides new information about the lives and times of eighteenth-century writers.
