"This book offers an organic approach to A. Mary F. Robinson, which is a major achievement in itself, given the considerable complexities of her life and work. Patricia Rigg's capacious and fascinating account will place Robinson prominently in late Victorian and early twentieth-century literary studies." Alison Chapman, University of Victoria and author of Networking the Nation: British and American Women's Poetry and Italy, 1840–1870"This is the most comprehensive study to date on A. Mary F. Robinson. Patricia Rigg should be congratulated for her painstaking, thorough research, which gathers previously unavailable archival material. Rigg gives attention to Robinson's complete oeuvre in both English and French, offering much new material on her work in French especially, for a richer sense of Robinson's full career." Emily Harrington, University of Colorado, Boulder, and author of Second Person Singular: Late Victorian Women Poets and the Bonds of Verse
