Opie’s poetry consists: And, unsparing as our friendly criticism may have appeared, in its censure of the trials which it deemed injudicious, we are happy that she has enabled us to make atonement, by our just praise of those pieces which accord better with the character of her imagination.
Opie is praised in contrast to “the pert affected sentimentalists, and the gravely ridiculous, pedantically petticoated philosophers”:
Opie’s “modest sensibility” and “true discrimination” were connected to her subject matter and to her presentation of herself as a writer–even to her poetics.

 Opie, "THE LUCAYAN'S SONG"
But it was as a wife, to painter Thomas Opie, that Amelia Alderson Opie found and filled yet another role, as a writer: in order to encourage his socialite wife to stay at home, Thomas Opie urged her to pursue her writing seriously.
Opie found greater success as a fiction writer than a poet during her lifetime and it is her seemingly conservative "moral tales" which earn her attention from contemporary critics, who find in her stories a redefinition of women's domestic and public roles.
Opie's preface attributes the poem's inspiration to an excerpt from Bryan Edwards' history of the West Indies, which argued against Britain's leadership in abolishing the slave trade.

Opie began to participate in London society in 1794 and she soon became acquainted with and admired by the most radical members of the literary groups, in particular, Elizabeth Inchbald, William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft (whom Opie depicts in her novel, Adeline Mowbray, or The Mother and Daughter, 1804).
Her ceaseless literary outpouring is of questionable quality, and this led to her being satirized as Miss Poppyseed by Peacock in his novel Headlong Hall.
She married the painter John Opie in 1798 (her maiden name was Alderson), but at his death in 1807 moved to Norwich where, in 1825, she became a Quaker, devoting herself to spiritual writing, e.g.

 Empowering   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In linking together Mary Robinson, Jane West, and Amelia Opie, I hope to show the ways in which three women, though of different ideological and social backgrounds, attempted to negotiate with the period's prevailing notions of gender, identity, and female selfhood.
Robinson, West, and Opie each explored the various ways women could empower themselves and be empowered without necessarily breaking with cultural definitions of the feminine.
They were aware of the connections between the home and the political arena, and often sought to redefine the terms in the domestic realm in order to show a range of possibilities for both women and men in the private and public sphere.

 Welcome to Woodstock Books
Amelia Alderson came from a Unitarian family and entered the Godwin circle at the time of the Treason Trials of 1794.
Adeline Mowbray is on one level a satire on her former friends (the main characters being fictionalized younger versions of Godwin and Wollstonecraft); on a more interesting level this ambitious and reflective novel is a tale for women about their roles in the early years of the new century.

Opie, then, locates her fictions in the domestic realm and, at the same time, is able to comment on social and political issues; she politicizes the private.
Although Opie does not explicitly address herself to political or even public matters, she presents in her Simple Tales and Adeline Mowbray "revolutionized" families in which children figuratively breast-feed their own parents with their witch's milk.
Opie allows the children in her fictions, then, to usurp authority from their parents.

The article examines the early nineteenth-century novelist Amelia Opie’s plotting and description of madness, showing how Opie deploys conventional and frequently oppressive images only to question their relevance, and ultimately to offer a political reinterpretation in which madness functions as a covert symbol of resistance.
The examination begins with brief discussions of Opie’s revision of the conventional love-mad woman and concludes with a reading of her last completed novel, Madeline, A Tale (1822), against the background of Giovanni Paisiello’s 1789 opera, Nina, o sia La pazza per amore.
The article argues that Opie uses the contrasts and tensions created by her frequent invocations of this popular opera to unite class, gender and madness in a complex and sophisticated fiction.

Her attempt to live with the philosopher Frederic Glenmurray outside marriage is condemned by both her mother and society.
Adeline and Glenmurray's relationship becomes the focal point for Opie's satire on society's attitudes to education, women, marriage, masculine and feminine codes of honour, filial loyalty and the struggle to justify individual choice.
Written in a period of conservative reaction in Britain and recalling the earlier radical era of the 1790s the novel offers a gripping exploration of the `world as it is' and the `world as it ought to be.' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Alternatively, West, in the assumed character of Prudentia Homespun, and Opie, the one-time radical turned Quaker, both recur to the image of female suffering and recuperative agency.
At the same time, her inclusion of such an array of authorities suggests the relevance of the themes Ty focuses on in the writings of Robinson, West, and Opie.

Amelia Alderson Opie was a devout member of the British Anti-Slavery Society and wrote a great deal of abolition literature.
Two of her more famous poems are "The Negro Boy's Tale" written in 1802, and "The Black Man's Lament or How to Make Sugar" in 1826.
"The Black Man's Lament" deals with the kidnapping of slaves from Africa along with the Middle Passage and marketplace, although the focus of Opie's poem is on the incredible amount of work a slave would have to do while cultivating sugar-cane.
