7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. CelestinaBy FoxxyI ran across Charlotte Smith when I was looking up Ann Radcliffe on another website. She took up writing to support herself and her children. Her husband was a deadbeat in debt. She not only influenced Radcliffe, but also . This is the first book I have read by her, and you can tell in what ways she influenced Radcliffe. Radcliffe perfected her descriptions of nature and landscape in The Mysteries of Udolpho. Smith too paints very dramatic scenes in Celestina. I would also place her among the romantic gothic writers. Celestina was dropped off at a convent in France as an infant under secrecy. An English woman adopts her. Her son grows up with her and falls in love with her. On his mother's death bed, she wants him to marry his cousin to save the estate. (His deceased father was deeply in debt.) He is torn between his love of Celestina and his love of the estate and his promise to his mother. He decides to marry Celestina, but right before they are to be united, he gets an unsettling note and leaves to find out whether the contents are true or false. The answer will permit him to either marry Celestina or not. Their are lots of gossip and waging tongues, a lack of communication, and there are mysteries to be solved. It does not disappoint. If you like Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen, and even Frances Burney, you will love Charlotte Smith.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher. ldquo;The publication of Charlotte Smithrsquo;s Celestina, expertly edited by Loraine Fletcher, marks an important addition to the library of those of us interested in Romantic women writers, the sentimental novel, or the eighteenth- century novel. The appendices provide materials that allow readers to assess the reception and influence of the novel, the political context, and Smithrsquo;s biography. With an astute and wide-ranging introduction that helpfully places the novel in the political, literary, and cultural contexts of its day, this volume is an extremely valuable addition to the impressive and growing list offered by Broadview Press.rdquo; ? Diane Long Hoeveler, Marquette University From the Back Cover Published here for the first time in a modern edition, Charlotte Smithrsquo;s third novel is both rivetingly plotted and unique for its time in its powerful depiction of a gifted Romantic woman poet. The novelrsquo;s heroine, Celestina, abandoned as a child in a French convent, becomes an independent, witty, and accomplished elegiac poet who, in a reversal of the usual pattern of the courtship novel, acts as a mentor to several men in her life. Written at the beginning of the , Smithrsquo;s novel depicts characters challenging both corrupt authority and conventional morality, exemplifying her hope that English society was on the verge of a great change for the better. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and primary source material relating to the novelrsquo;s reception, its political contexts (writings by Reverend Richard Price, , , and Thomas Paine), and the authorrsquo;s life. About the Author Loraine Fletcher is Lecturer in at the University of Reading. She is the author of Charlotte Smith: A Critical Biography (Macmillan, 1998) and the editor of Charlotte Smithrsquo;s Emmeline (Broadview Press, 2003).
