Much of the biography is based on Baillie's now published letters (FDUP, 1999) to family members, literary figures, scientists, religious leaders, artists, and friends in England, Scotland, and the United States; and her correspondence is supplemented with further biographical evidence and with critical commentary on her works."--BOOK JACKET.
