ABSTRACT
This chapter presents some of the reviews of the works of romantic women writers which were published in the Edinburgh Magazine, or Literary Miscellany. The writers whose works were reviewed include Anna Maria Bennett, Elizabeth Bonhote, Anne Francis, Catharine Macaulay Graham, Dorothy Jordan, and Helen Maria Williams. The review says that Williams pays proper attention to construction of fable, arrangement of incidents, and developement of character. These talents when combined with her charm of poetical imagery are capable of producing works not inferior to the most celebrated of her cotemporaries.
