Oxford Brookes Reader in Early Modern Literature and Critical Theory awarded seal of approval for The Letters of Sarah Robinson Scott from Modern Language Association of the USA

06/08/2013

The Committee on Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association (MLA) of the USA, has awarded Nicole Pohl ’s edition of The Letters of Sarah Robinson Scott (forthcoming, Pickering & Chatto/The Huntington Library Press) its seal, designating it an MLA Approved Edition. This is a highly prestigious accolade awarded by one of the most influential bodies of literary and language scholarship in the English-speaking world. The seal is reserved only for scholarly editions of genuine and impactful significance. Sarah Robinson Scott (1721–1795) was a writer, translator and social reformer, and younger sister of Elizabeth Robinson Montagu (1718–1800), the famous Bluestocking patron. While Scott’s legacy presents her as a committed Anglican philanthropist, the letters she wrote to her sister reveal her to have been a witty, even savage, commentator on eighteenth-century life.
