This sourcebook offers such key materials as: letters by Wollstonecraft and important contemporary documents; nineteenth century responses to the text; twentieth century critical readings; annotated key passages, cross-referenced to critical texts; and suggestions for further reading. With substantial introductory materials throughout and extensive annotation, this is the essential guide to a key literary and political text." -- BOOK JACKET |
