- Description
- First standard edition of the writing of Felicia Hemans (1793-1835), early nineteenth century poet, both in England and the United States. This volume includes five major works in their entirety, along with ‘Records of Woman’. Her letters, many published here for the first time, reflect her views of her contemporaries, her work, her negotiations with publishers, and her emerging celebrity, while reviews and letters from others - including Lord Byron, Walter Scott, and the Wordsworths - tell the story of Hemans's reception in her time.
