Poet, essayist, editor, innovative writer for children, polemicist for religious and political reform, Barbauld helped set the agenda for Anglo-American culture for over a century. Her poems influenced Coleridge and Wordsworth; her writings on education, church-state relations, identity politics, and the ethics of citizenship are freshly relevant today; her commentary on books and writers went far to establish today's canon of English novelists. Beyond their importance, her writings are distinguished by great charm and profound intelligence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume 2 publishes Barbauld's ground-breaking \u003cem\u003eLessons for Children\u003c\/em\u003e (4 vols., 1778-9) for the first time from the earliest surviving copies and reproduces these texts in a manner that honours, as far as possible, the special format the author desired. It also includes the first scholarly edition of \u003cem\u003eHymns in Prose for Children\u003c\/em\u003e (1781); pieces in prose and verse associated with the Barbauld school at Palgrave (1774-85); her contributions to \u003cem\u003eEvenings at Home\u003c\/em\u003e (1793-6); the essays, \u003cem\u003ejeux d'esprit\u003c\/em\u003e, and poems she wrote for children or young women, many gathered by Lucy Aikin in \u003cem\u003eA Legacy for Young Ladies\u003c\/em\u003e, reviews of educational books from the Monthly Review; and a trove of previously unpublished letters on the subject of education to Lydia Rickards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula R.
