ddition to writing characteristics, writing themes of Charlotte Smith’s works alsocatch scholars’ wide attention. Studies on themes mainly focus on Charlotte Smith’sself-portraits and depiction of nature. These studies are beneficial for delving into TheEmigrants, which also involves self-portraits and depiction of nature.Charlotte Smith’s sentimental writing tone has a close and natural connection to herself-portraits. Self-portraits can be easily found in Charlotte Smith novels and poems.Terry (2007) explores sentimentalism in Elegiac Sonnets by comparing it with ThomasGray’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. He indicates that Charlotte Smith writesher plights and misery into her poems by creating a series of personae who experiencesimilar plights as her. Labbe (2008) notes that critics and editors are aware of self-portraitsin Smith’s works. She also mentions that some editors even equate speakers in Smith’sworks with Smith herself.Studies on the theme of self-portraits suggest that Charlotte Smith’s bears a closesimilarity to characters in her novels and poems. In The Emigrants, the speaker “I” bearsmany similarities to Charlotte Smith and is considered as self-portrait of Charlotte Smith.Similar plights tightly link Charlotte Smith with French emigrants and also lead toCharlotte Smith’s sympathy for emigrants. The Emigrants sets the French Revolution asits background and emigrants’ forlornness is described in the poem. Charlotte Smith’sintimate relationship with French emigrants is explored from the perspective of literaryand metaphorical exiles. For example, Rennhak (2006) considers the relationship betweenemigrants and women in Britain as a kind of trope. She claims that emigrants are literaryemigrants and women including Charlotte Smith are metaphorical exiles.
