"In 1830 the Edinburgh Review placed Opie with Maria Edgeworth and Jane Austen among the major women novelists of the previous three decades, and defined her particular 'province' as 'the passions' and 'the exhibition of their workings' (EdinR, 51, July 1830, 450)." (Oxford DNB). However, in later years her reputation dwindled as her work was seen to be both mawkish and sentimental. "Late twentieth-century historical and contextual research has initiated new understanding of the complexity and originality of her fiction and poetry." - Oxford DNB.
