	Literary Encyclopedia: Joanna Baillie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		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.
		First, in 1768, James Baillie was transferred to the collegiate church of Hamilton, on the banks of the Clyde, then, in 1772, Joanna was sent to boarding school in Glasgow and in 1776 her father was appointed Professor of Divinity at the University of Glasgow.
		Baillie’s 1831 essay “A View of the general Tenor of the New Testament regarding the Nature and Dignity of Jesus Christ” and the number of hymns and paraphrases of scripture in her 1840 Fugitive Verses testify to her intense exploration of faith after this period of loss.

		Miss Baillie died on February 23, 1851 at the advanced age of 89, her faculties remaining unimpaired to the last.

		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 interest in Constantinople as the last remnant of a refined and learned civilization overthrown by violent pagan forces is part of her long-standing interest in individual human dignity and sensitivity in the face of seemingly uncontrollable human passions.
		Baillie sees the larger scene of conflict between human groups, that is, as emblematic of the individual psyche in its struggle to attain and affirm integrity and metaphysical identity against the chaos of the empirical and the physical.

		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.
		Uses Baillie as a representative female theatre theorist to demonstrate "the problems women theorists encounter when moving from 'the closet' to engage critics in public space." Emphasizes Baillie's dramatic and theoretical work as a means to examine her negotiation of self and gender representation in public and domestic spheres.
		Further argues that Baillie characterizes the "masculine public sphere" as dominated by self-destructive egotism and pride while she portrays the feminine counter-public sphere with a basis in domestic action and nurturing affection.

		She published anonymously in I7~0 a volume called Fugitive Verses; but it was not till I 798 that she produced the first volume of her plays on.
		The Family Legend, brought out in 181o at Edinburgh, under the enthusiastic patronage of Sir Walter Scott, had a brief though brilliant success; De Monfort had a short run in London, mainly through the acting of John Kemble and Mrs Siddons; Henriquez and The Separation were coldly received.
		Not only is there a flaw in the fundamental idea, viz, that of an individual who is the embodiment of a single passion, but the want of incident and the direction of the attention to a single point, present insuperable obstacles to their success as acting pieces.

		The long life of Joanna Baillie began earlier than that of any of the poets of either sex, outside the retrospect of the last paragraph, who have been mentioned in this chapter, except Rogers; and it continued, like his, till the second half of the nineteenth century.
		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.
		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.

		Christianity and colonial discourse in Joanna Baillie's The Bride.
		IN the "Introductory Discourse" to her first volume of plays published in 1798, the British playwright Joanna Baillie carefully presents the project of reform that she was to continue for much of her career.
		She explains her plan to write a series of plays "in which the chief object should be to delineate the progress of the higher passions in the human breast" and deduces that "Tragedy, written upon this plan, is fitted to produce stronger moral effect than upon any other" (11).

		Baillie and Scott, among other women playwrights, wrote drama that engaged these interconnected fields of theatre and science, but they did so in ways that challenged the spectral use of bodies, rendering fictive what appeared to be objective, factual, and authentic science.
		Baillie and Scott, in particular, expose not only the fictive and theatrical nature of science but also the ways in which staged science functioned as science fiction, popular and powerful in its public presentation.
		Baillie and Scott appropriate staged science as techno-gothic drama, specifically charged with scientific ideology, to challenge the roles and afflictions assigned to women by medical and scientific discourses that sought to keep them subordinate to men.

		In addition to being prolific, Joanna Baillie is the one playwright that gained some degree of acceptance among the canonical romantics, both first and second generation.
		Baillie’s place would have been even more disturbing because she explicitly champions troubling gender reconstruction in so many of her plays.
		In Baillie’s play, the passage is important because it emphasizes that Orra’s only option, apart from giving in to the demands of the system of male violence in which she lives, is to remove herself from human interaction.

	Broadview Press: Plays on the Passions
		Baillie’s eminently readable dramas stand at the crossroads of the Scottish Enlightenment and early Romanticism, and compellingly engage with questions of women’s rights.
		Her exploration of the passions, first published in 1798, is here reissued with a wealth of contextual materials including "The Introductory Discourse," Baillie’s own brand of feminist literary criticism.
		The speculation into the authorship concluded two years later when Baillie came forward as the writer of the collection, thereby causing a subsequent sensation since no one had considered the shy spinster a candidate in the mystery.

		Baillie's Constantine Paleologus; or the Last of the Caesars (1805) is, for example, structured by history, and Felicia Hemans's The Siege of Valencia (1823) is built upon legend.
		Jeffrey Cox, for example, suggests the meta-dramatic function of Baillie's De Monfort when he claims that Baillie turns a self-reflective gaze on the Gothic, "her plays offer[ing] a self-conscious examination of some of the fundamental conventions of the Gothic" (Seven Gothic Dramas 51).
		Andrea Henderson argues that Baillie's conceptualization of passions in her "Introductory Discourse" to the 1798 volume was organized according to the logic of a contemporary form of consumerism and offers us valuable insight into the commercial underpinnings of the desiring modern subject; see "Passion and Fashion in Joanna Baillie's 'Introductory Discourse,'" PMLA 112.2 (1997): 198-213.

		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.

		Narrates the author's 1835 introduction to Baillie, and describes her as living "exactly as an English gentlewoman of her age and character should live." Also briefly notes an 1838 meeting during which Baillie spoke kindly of Sir Walter Scott and John Gibson Lockhart.
		Suggests that Baillie never achieved acclaim beyond the literati, and asserts that praise of her work resulted from Baillie's dramatic ideas, not her execution of them in her plays.

		The Scottish dramatist and poet Joanna Baillie (1762-1851) is one of the most important figures to have emerged from the recent redefinition of the Romantic canon.
		Highly regarded by her literary contemporaries, her Plays on the Passions were widely appreciated and extremely influential during the mid-nineteenth century, and her 'Introductory Discourse' has been seen as an anticipation of Wordsworth's 1800 preface to Lyrical Ballads.
