Joanna Baillie Knihy
Joanna Baillie bola škótska poetka a dramatička, ktorá bola za svojho života dobre známa. Obdivovali ju pre jej literárne schopnosti a vo svojom domčeku v Hampsteade hostila vynikajúcu literárnu spoločnosť. Jej inteligencia a integrita sa spájali so skromným vystupovaním, čo z nej pre mnohých urobilo zosobnenie kresťanskej dámy. Jej druh drámy zostal po celý život v podstate nezmenený a bola hrdá na to, že svoje hlavné dielo, Hry o vášňach, realizovala viac-menej vo forme, v akej si ho pôvodne predstavovala. Jej tvorivé schopnosti boli zaznamenané „prakticky každým, koho názor na literárnu záležitosť stál za to“ a bola v priateľskom vzťahu so všetkými poprednými spisovateľkami svojej doby.
