In The Young Philosopher, George Delmont embraces an agrarian life and devotes himself to the pursuit of knowledge. But it is George's love Medora Glenmorris and her mother Laura who provide the emotional core of the novel. Contrasting the pain and suffering of individuals with the idealism of the French Revolution and the hope provided by glimpses of life in America, Smith exposes philosophical enlightenment as an ineffective weapon for fighting the widespread corruption of English society. The early novels of Charlotte Smith (1749-1806) were precursors of the gothic tradition that came to dominate the Romantic period. Her later fiction, including The Young Philosopher (1798), were more political in nature and influenced both the form and substance of works by nineteenth-century novelists such as Austen and Dickens.

Elizabeth Kraft, professor of English at the University of Georgia, is the author of Character and Consciousness in Eighteenth-Century Comic Fiction, Laurence Sterne Revisited, and co-editor of The Poems of Anna Letitia Barbauld.
Review:
"Will be much appreciated by scholars for whom Smith has become a touchstone of the nineties and the early Romantic movement."―East-Central Intelligencer

"Kraft provides an introduction that gives the reader not only facts about the life of Charlotte Smith, but also provides a philosophical and scholastic background to help situate the novel within a movement that promoted feminine strength and character independent from men."―Eighteenth Century
