Livre longtemps oublié de la romancière Charlotte Smith: "Emmeline, the Orphan of the Castle" (1788) eut pourtant un immense succès. Walter Scott: "a tale of love and passion, happily conceived".Sir Egerton Brydges: "an enchanting fiction" JuIia Kavanagh: "in Charlotte Smith's books the heroine is fully evolved, a quiet, steadfast, sensitive girl, whose virtue is modesty and her strength endurance, whose character is ripened by adversity and love, and who solaces her worst hours with the contemplation of nature and the English poets." Alexandre Pigoreau: "Mrs. Smith composa des romans pleins de charme et qui portent l'empreinte de la douce mélancolie que lui avaient inspiré ses chagrins domestiques".
