Chronologies
|

This
chronology orders all known Baillie letters
and provides more accurate dates and
identifications for many of the previously
published letters. By providing watermarks,
the place of writing, and the correspondents'
names, the chronology also gives a new
vantage point from which to view Baillie's
life and times. It is published in
conjunction with the Romantic Circles
Praxis volume Utopianism
and Joanna Baillie, edited by Regina
Hewitt, to which Thomas McLean contributed
an
essay explaining this chronological
listing.
