Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Memorials of Mrs. Hemans: With Illustrations of Her Literary Character From Her Private Correspondence In offering these Memorials to the public, I am anxious that their character should not be mistaken - that my work should not be measured by too high a standard. I cannot better guard against such a mischance than by stating the circumstances under which it was planned and executed. It is now twelve months ago, since I collected and published, in the "Athenæum," a few sketches and remembrances of one whom I had known intimately during the later years of her life. The general interest excited by these papers - or rather by the vivacity and elegance of the letters which they contained - led me to contemplate their extension and republication. While the work was in progress, however, my store of materials was so liberally enriched by the kindness of known and unknown friends, that these Memorials were imperceptibly extended beyond the period of my own personal acquaintance with Mrs. Hemans; and I found myself enabled, by linking together correspondence and anecdote with slight notices of her published works, to trace out the entire progress of her mind through its several stages. To this task I have exclusively confined myself, purposely refraining from touching upon any such details of the delicate circumstances of her domestic life, as were not necessary to the illustration of her literary career. I have therefore of necessity fallen short of the completeness essential to a regular biography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
