Het werk van Elizabeth Carter wordt gekenmerkt door een diepe betrokkenheid bij klassieke teksten en de intellectuele stromingen van haar tijd. Als dichteres en vertaalster doordrenkte ze haar schrijven met een diep begrip van antieke literatuur en filosofie. Door deel te nemen aan de Bluestocking Circle droeg ze bij aan een levendige literaire scene en daagde ze conventionele rollen voor vrouwelijke schrijvers uit. Haar nalatenschap ligt in haar verfijnde proza en haar bijdrage aan het rijke tapijt van het Engelse literaire erfgoed.
