This is the first wide-ranging selection of Harriet Martineau's letters to the major figures in Victorian political and literary history. Unashamedly forthright and often bigoted, the letters express her opinions on literary realism and George Eliot, biography and Mrs. Gaskell's Life of Charlotte Brontë, and Elizabeth Barrett's contribution to modern poetry. Illustrating the spirit of Victorian social and literary life, the letters reveal her outspoken views on contemporary writers, the working classes, women's role in society, political change, illness, mesmerism, and her own writing.

About the author: Harriet Martineau (/_m__rt_n_o_/; 12 June 1802 Ð 27 June 1876) was a British social theorist and Whig writer, often cited as the first female sociologist.Martineau wrote many books and a multitude of essays from a sociological, holistic, religious, domestic, and perhaps most controversially, feminine perspective; she also translated various works from Auguste Comte. She earned enough to be supported entirely by her writing, a rare feat for a woman in the Victorian era. A young Princess Victoria enjoyed reading Martineau's publications. The queen invited Martineau to her coronation in 1838 Ñan event which Martineau described, in great and amusing detail, to her many readers.

Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) was a British writer and scholar who can be described as one of the first British sociologists. She was one of the first social theorists to examine all aspects of a society, including social class, religion, national character and the status of women in a society. After the death of her fiancé Martineau published articles on economics and taxation before embarking on a two year tour of the United States in 1834. She immersed herself in American society, visiting both Houses of Congress along with prisons, hospitals and literary and scientific institutions. These volumes contain a description of her travels through America. Written in the form of a travel book, Martineau's sharp powers of observation provide not only a vivid description of America but also insights into the construction of nineteenth century American society. Volume 3 contains her travels in New England.
