We see the shift in her writing from witty and amusing descriptions of the social life of town and country, to a thoughtful and constructive tone while writing about the business of literary composition.R.W. Chapman's ground-breaking edition of the collected letters first appeared in 1932, and a second edition followed twenty years later.
