criticism
(p. 4)
Extract from Landon's work 'Female Portrait Gallery, from Sir Walter Scott'. This work, on the female characters in the works of Sir Walter Scott, was published in parts in English magazines including the Lady's Book and the New Monthly Magazine both in 1838. Letitia Landon's 'Autobiographical Sketches' is included in AustLit because it was published in Australian newspapers and magazines in the nineteenth century.
This extract, no. 1 of the main work, discusses two of the female characters in Scott's Waverley novels, Flora McIvor and Rose Bradwardine.
