This book explores Charlotte Smith’s Elegiac Sonnets and clarifies its ’place’ - understood in multiple ways - in literary history. It argues that Smith’s work engages more deeply with tradition than has hitherto been realised and revises our understanding not only of Smith’s career but also of the sonnet in eighteenth-century England..
