Charlotte Smith (1749–1806) was an English poet and novelist, whose literary career emerged from the crucible of personal misfortune and financial distress. Born Charlotte Turner in London, she was a precocious talent whose early education in a Chichester boarding school fostered a love for literature. Marrying Benjamin Smith at the age of fifteen, her life took a series of tumultuous turns, including imprisonment for her husband's debts, which profoundly influenced her work. Turning to writing as a means of supporting her large family, Smith published 'Elegiac Sonnets' in 1784, which was well received and marked her as a pioneer of the Romantic movement. However, it is her first novel, 'Emmeline, the Orphan of the Castle' (1788), that secured her reputation as a novelist. Smith's invocation of sensibility and her exploration of women's precarious positions in patriarchal society were recurrent themes. Her novels often feature heroines who navigate societal and personal adversity with fortitude and intelligence, mirroring her own life struggles. Smith's writing style is characterized by an eloquent narrative voice and finely drawn characters, which have earned her a notable place in the canon of 18th-century literature. Despite the considerable success she achieved during her lifetime, Smith died in relative obscurity, but her work has been rediscovered and appreciated in recent literary scholarship.
