Joanna Baillie Libri
Joanna Baillie fu una poetessa e drammaturga scozzese, rinomata ai suoi tempi per la sua abilità letteraria. Coltivò un vivace circolo letterario nella sua casa di Hampstead, incarnando per molti l'ideale di una gentildonna cristiana attraverso la sua miscela di intelligenza, integrità e modi modesti. Baillie possedeva una natura acuta e osservatrice e una tenace adesione alle proprie convinzioni artistiche. Le sue opere drammatiche, in particolare la sua esplorazione delle passioni, rimasero fedeli alla sua visione originale, una testimonianza del suo genio inventivo che ottenne un ampio riconoscimento da stimati contemporanei e favorì amicizie con importanti scrittrici dell'epoca.
