I cannot think of a recent scholarly work in Atlantic studies that is more agreeably written or better oriented toward the general reader.--New England Quarterly|Demonstrates a remarkable versatility in his analysis and willingness to engage with different genres.--The Journal of Modern History|Working mostly from published sources, but some archival collections as well, Cayton evokes the intense interplay between what Wollstonecraft and her circle were reading, and how they were living.--SEL|A well-written imaginative re-creation, based on historical research, of the motives, thoughts, arguments, and interrelationships of important British and American radicals.--American Historical Review|[This] study is most successful in its detail, and [Cayton's] methodical research into the transatlantic commerce in emotional theories is particularly impressive. . . .
