'Mary Tighe was one of the most gifted, innovative, and influential poets of the British Romantic era. What a treat to have published, at long last, Tighe's only novel, unknown to all but a few of her closest contemporaries. Harriet Kramer Linkin's fascinating, informative and well-researched introduction makes a compelling case for the novel and draws intriguing connections between it and more familiar works of the period. Selena not only helps to contextualize Tighe's exquisite poetry but gives us deeper insight into Tighe's intellect, sensibility and powers of imagination.' Paula R. Feldman, University of South Carolina, author of British Women Poets of the Romantic Era 'Tighe's expansive novel employs Gothic tropes and social satire to give a powerfully unsettling representation of gender and power; this welcome edition of her previously unpublished work extends our knowledge of Romantic women's writing.' Aileen Douglas, Trinity College Dublin '... a gold mine for social historians... Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.' Choice 'Linkin now offers the first edition of Selena, complete with a useful introduction and excellent notes... Harriet Linkin's scholarly edition will be invaluable in giving Selena the attention it deserves...' Times Literary Supplement 'A very attractive feature of the edition is its incorporation of eight illustrations from an 1805 manuscript volume, where the watercolours accompany the same poems which are reproduced within the novel ... [this is] a very fine scholarly edition which brings this previously 'hidden' work to light.' BARS Review
