Recenzii
`a glorious wealth of material, put togeher with scholarly scupulousness and self-effacing sympathy, which enables, the women of the past to speak for themselves...a superbly readable life of a woman who, though rash and flawed, was also talented, generous and full of resilient courage.' Caroline moore, Sunday Telegraph
'This book is a joy to read...Her life has now been rescued from oblivion and her memory made secure in this excellent and highly enjoyable biography.'Richard Mullen, Contemporary Review
'this wonderful volume...No one can read [it] without being deeply impressed by Claire's invincible independence...her judgements on all her experiences, better et out here than ever before, are worth detailed examination...' Michael Foot
'interesting in direct proportion to the unfamiliarity of its subject matter...she emerges from the biography as a far more attractive person than she has ever seemed in books about her more famous friends.' Lucy Hughes-Hallett, Sunday Times
'Never before... has she had so much biographical attention to herself - and the result is not simply to recreate and endearing personality, but to illuminate the talents she moved among.' Andrew Motion, The Observer
'scholarly and sympathetic, and makes us feel the growth of Clairmont's mind. the authors' feminism is unagressive, but it's there, in deft quotations from her Journal, where the sublime landscapes and satiric humour reflect an essential Regency dichotomy, andin the record of her independence and generosity.' Loraine Fletcher, New Statesmen
'this thoughtful and balanced biography will intrigue the general reader and generate new perspectives for those with interests in the Romantics or Women's Studies.'Catherine Maxwell, St Hugh's College, Oxford, YES, 24, 1994
