Other sources suggest this book was published in 1853, but there is no date in this copy, and it could have been published sometime between then and 1870, the date of the penciled inscription. The red boards have gilt designs and lettering, scuffed and worn at edges. The front hinge is almost completely detached but the cover is intact except for a tear on the rear spine, as pictured. All edges are gilded. There is a listing of four plates, which are not included; however, three other plates of female figures (Edith and Marion, The Portrait, Helen) in addition to the frontispiece are. Hemans (1793-1835), was a very popular poet during her lifetime and the rest of the 19c. Now much parodied, "The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck" was a staple of school recitals. Although her style may seem sentimental and flowery, her themes are passionate and wide-ranging. Many poems concern women fighting for their independence, a subject with which she would have been personally concerned. The introductory essay, by the (at the time) well-known American critic H.T. Tuckerman, presents mid-19th century "feminism", describing how women may be every bit as talented and intelligent as men, but must retain a feminine quality to be truly appreciated. More than 200 poems. 347 pages. 7 x 4 5/8 1 lb 1 oz.…
