Reviews
Duncan Wu, author, Romanticism: An Anthology:
This book is memorable, educational, and enjoyable, exploring Wollstonecraft’s life and thought with brio and unrestrained pleasure. Wolfson's understanding of the subject is second to none—there is no one more authoritative or more learned.

Garrett Stewart, James O. Freedman Professor of Letters, University of Iowa:
Wolfson provides a compelling and classroom-friendly introduction to the troubled private life, flamboyant public career, and charged political afterlife of Mary Wollstonecraft. Her writing is scintillating, with vernacular verve and unflagging narrative drive. This book has everything—point, polish, and an accessibly gripping tale to tell.
