Summary
"This book focuses on the lonely women of the long eighteenth century -- both literary characters and poets themselves -- who exploited the sense of vulnerability that loneliness entails for their poetic benefit, and in the process, changed how "loneliness" was perceived more broadly."-- Provided by publisher.
