 Literary Encyclopedia: Joanna Baillie
Perhaps it was the very stability of Baillie’s serene and secluded life that gave her the courage to depict the darker side of human nature with objective, unflinching honesty and to defend her ethical and artistic principles to the end.
Baillie’s plan in writing her Plays on the Passions was to trace the structure of each human passion, from its faint beginnings to its most chaotic heights, in one tragedy and one comedy.
Baillie remained an energetic and robust individual who delighted audiences of young friends with a “multitude of wonderful tales”(Dramatic and Poetical Works vii).

 Joanna Baillie
Baillie's particular strengths are in her characterizations of the visionary spirit, alienated sensibility, the fragmented self, the romantic sublime, and poetic madness.
Baillie’s world was peopled by men and women who were making new discoveries in the physical sciences, offering new ways of thinking about the "mighty world of eye and ear" (Wordsworth "Tintern Abbey") and new epistemologies brought about by scientific experimentation and discoveries being made through the telescope and microscope.
this is most obvious in Baillie’s consistent depiction of the growing threat of the Turkish hordes as an inhuman tide or impersonal force, even a beast or a swarm of insects, attacking the soul of the city.

 Baillie Bibliography (Bugajski)
States that Baillie's plays are "better suited to the sober perusal of the closet than the bustle and animation of the theatre." Praises Baillie's moral example, Christian faith, and her clear and forceful style.
In the chapter on Baillie, demonstrates that she critiques gender "not as a biological function but as a cultural practice." Citing Mary Wollstonecraft, Maria Edgeworth, Mary Hays, Hannah More, and Clara Reeves, shows an oppressor/oppressed relationship between genders to be a widespread concern of nineteenth-century women.
Briefly considers Baillie's poetry, and states that, although contemporaries overrated her poetry, they believed that Baillie produced a "moral influence" on literature.

 Érudit RON n31 2003 : Hancock : “Shelley Himself in Petticoats”: Joanna Baillie’s
In doing so, she creates a further regret in being unable to part ways with the system of violence that oppresses her in the first place, and it is this remorse which turns to fear as Orra realizes the reality of the violence that Theobald’s chivalric, violent version of masculinity represents.
It is this sort of questioning of the boundaries of influence that I hope to accomplish by inserting Baillie into the discussion of dramatic influence and comparing her work with that of a poet like Percy Shelley.
In Orra, Baillie creates a woman that attempts, because of her remorse, to find middle ground between independence and an acceptance of enlightened chivalry.

 Romanticism On the Net 21 (February 2001)
Readers of Baillie's tragedy are impelled to confront their false opinions, for within the world of the play, the spectre huntsman is revealed as mere lore, and metadramatically, Orra unmasks medical accounts of female hysteria as fictive.
The conditions that facilitate the actual appearance of Baillie's techno-gothic ghost are discursively constructed in the story of Count Hugo, Orra's ancestor who murdered a noble knight, frequently found hunting in the Black Forest.
Like Baillie's tragedy, Scott's comedy takes place in a foreign setting, the rustic mountains of Spain, probably sometime during the Reconquest, perhaps between 1248 and 1492, a time when superstition not science provides explanations for spirits.

 Broadview Press: Plays on the Passions
"At a time when serious scholars are reevaluating the merit and impact of Joanna Baillie’s work, we finally have an annotated edition of her first volume of A Series of Plays.
The three plays included here are "Count Basil: A Tragedy," and "The Tryal: A Comedy," which show love from opposing perspectives; and "De Monfort: A Tragedy," which explores the drama of hate.
"Peter Duthie has given teachers of romanticism and theater a gift; this elegant, accessible, and carefully contextualized edition of Joanna Baillie’s earliest plays is an invaluable resource for demonstrating the centrality of Baillie’s dramas to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century debates about women and performance, morality and the mind.

 Romanticism On the Net 12 (November 1998)
Mariana Starke's 1788 comedy The Sword of Peace; or A Voyage of Love, Joanna Baillie's 1798 comedy The Tryal, and Lady Olivia Clarke's 1819 comedy The Irishwoman feature dramatic conflicts in which strong-willed female characters stage their own theatricals.
As cross-dressed dramaturgy, then, Midas is a comedy about women's issues played out on male bodies; Proserpine is a drama in which imaginary women enact a "masque of anarchy" in which masculinist power subsumes female autonomy.
In "The Sexual Politics of The Election: French Feminism and the Scottish Playwright Joanna Baillie," Intertexts 2.2 (Fall 1998): 119-30, I discuss the ways in which Baillie's 1802 comedy contributes to changing perceptions of class and gender identities following the French Revolution.

 Overview of Joanna Baillie
This book was highly successful and was followed by a second volume in 1802, a third in 1812.
Settling in Hampstead, her home became the centre of a brilliant literary circle and counted the likes of author Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832), and poets William Wordsworth and Lord Byron among her friends.
In 1790, Baillie published an anonymous volume called Fugitive Verses and in 1798, also anonymously, the first of her "plays on the passions", under the simple title of A Series of Plays.

This edition of Baillie's work gives readers the opportunity to assess her significance and her craft.
Jennifer Breen places Baillie's best poetry where it belongs - in the Romantic canon, demonstrably the equal of and the formative link between Robert Burns' Scottish poetry and William Wordsworth's meditations on Nature.
Her poetry ranged from songs and lyrical ballads to dramatic monologues and realistic blank verse poems relating to her youth in the Scottish countryside, as well as her life in London.

But, except for a tincture of romantic subject, her work bears, and might be expected to bear, the colour of the eighteenth.
Scott’s excessive praise of Joanna needs, of course, allowance for personal friendship as well as for his general critical kindliness; but the fact that it was also due to his recognition of a temper in life and literature akin to his own deserves, in turn, similar recognition.
Although some fight for it was made at the time by her friends (who were numerous, as she well deserved), it has long been practically “confessed and avoided.” Whether the poetical value is much greater may be doubted.

Since she grew up in an atmosphere where thought was encouraged, she studied geometry, philosophy, and Latin at a time when more than half the population of British women was illiterate.
The psychological nature of her work influenced the English Romantic writers, and she counted Lord Byron, Williams Wordsworth, and Sir Walter Scott among her friends and admirers.
The fact that the works had been published anonymously only heightened their mystery.

 Joanna Baillie, De Monfort
While Baillie has the first appearance of each of her three main characters,--Jane, De Monfort, and Rezenvelt--prepared for us by secondary characters, there is a striking difference between what we hear about De Monfort and Rezenvelt and what we are told about Jane.
Baillie works to make her audience self-conscious about the way in which the male gaze seeks to capture Jane but fails to do so.
Baillie goes further by drawing attention to the fact that it is Mrs.
