ALB , writing and publishing in the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth century, was a true woman of letters, an important poet, revered as mouthpiece or laureate for Rational Dissent.

During her lifetime an extraordinary revolution in public opinion made her vilified as markedly as she had been revered.
