Her publications include The Conway Letters: the Correspondence of Anne, Viscountess Conway, Henry More and their Friends, 1642–1684 (1992, a revised edition of a collection originally edited by Marjorie Nicolson in 1930), Ralph Cudworth: A Treatise Concerning Eternal and Immutable Morality (Cambridge, 1996), Henry More (1614-1687): Tercentenary Studies (1990), and Platonism and the English Imagination (with Anna Baldwin, Cambridge, 1994)."Hutton deals with both the biographical and the philosophical, placing both their historical context. Clearly written, with a good bibliography." CHOICE
"[Anne Conway] was a sharp and perceptive thinker, and she occupies a node in the intellectual culture of the seventeenth century that, if given due attention, will reveal to us uite a bit about what was at stake in the great debates of the time, and what the range of possible positions was. Hutton shows this succinctly and well..her book constitutes in itself an argument for the importance of the so-called minor figures in early modern philosophy for anyone wishing to come to a profound understanding of the period." --Justin E.H. Smith, Concordia University: Philosophy in Review
