Sensibility and Female Poetic Tradition, 1780-1860 is written by Claire Knowles and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0754669750 (ISBN 10) and 9780754669753 (ISBN 13).

Arguing that the end of the eighteenth century witnessed the emergence of an important female poetic tradition, Knowles analyzes the poetry of the Della Cruscans, Charlotte Smith, Susan Evance, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and Elizabeth Barrett-Browning in the context of a mass literary culture and the move from the discourse of sensibility to the rhetoric of sentimentality. Knowles shows that Smith pioneered an autobiographical approach to poetic production that continues today.
