Wife of Bath in Afterlife: Ballads to Blake, by Betsy Bowden
Bowden delves into each case study so expansively that at the end of reading the book, the reader has been immersed in many different eighteenth-century cultural worlds. This is an immensely learned and valuable book that dares to be different and, as a result, breaks new ground.
