    "This volume makes a genuine contribution to the history of women-authored epistolary fiction, of women's role in the Enlightenment, and of Franco-British literary relations in that period. It makes for enjoyable reading and deserves a place in university libraries."

    "Kaplan's book offers the first re-publications of these particular translations since the eighteenth century... Among the most siginifant contributions made by a volume such as this one is the fact that it will facilitate critical studies of the translated texts."
