There has been a rising interest in the study of Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) in philosophy, political theory, literary studies and the history of political thought in recent decades. The Wollstonecraftian Mind seeks to provide a comprehensive survey of her work, not only placing it in its historical context but also exploring its contemporary significance. Comprising 38 chapters by a team of international contributors this handbook covers:

- the background to Wollstonecraft’s work

- Wollstonecraft’s major works

- the relationship between Wollstonecraft and other major philosophers

- Wollstonecraftian philosophy

- Wollstonecraft’s legacy

Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, Wollstonecraft’s work is central to the study of political philosophy, literature, French studies, political thought, and feminism.
