Extractions: The Swan of Lichfield The Romantic poet, memorialist and letter writer, Anna Seward, came to Lichfield in 1750 when her father was appointed Canon Residentiary of Lichfield Cathedral, eventually occupying the Bishops Palace, her home for the remainder of her life. Anna formed an early close relationship with Honora Sneyd, who was adopted by the Sewards as a child. Their painful separation when Honora married Richard Lovell Edgeworth in 1773 prompted some of Annas finest work. Anna herself had many offers of marriage, but never married. Devoted to caring for her sick father, she endured what she referred to as her old-maidism, building a renowned literary coterie around herself and encouraging young, talented writers with support, advice and even money. Her poem, the Elegy on Captain Cook , (1780) first brought Anna to national attention and gained her the title; the Swan of Lichfield. There followed a poetical novel, Louisa , a volume, Llangollen Vale and a collection of sonnets. She collaborated with Dr Darwin, writing the exordium for his own major work

Extractions: Anna Seward (1747-1809) Behold that tree in autumn's dim decay, Stripped by the frequent chill and eddying wind; Where yet some yellow lonely leaves we find Lingering and trembling on the naked spray, Twenty, perchance, for millions whirled away! Emblemalas too just!of human kind: Vain man expects longevity, designed For few indeed; and their protracted day What is it worth that wisdom does not scorn? The blasts of sickness, care, and grief appal, That laid the friends in dust, whose natal morn Rose near their own!and solemn is the call; Yet, like those weak, deserted leaves forlorn, Shivering they cling to life and fear to fall. Praised be the poet who the sonnet's claim, Severest of the orders that belong Distinct and separate to the Delphic song, Shall venerate, nor its appropriate name Lawless assume. Peculiar is its frame From him derived who shunned the city throng And warbled sweet thy rocks and streams among

Extractions: Anna Seward Anna Seward was born in Lichfield, England (which is north-northeast of Birmingham), in 1747, to Thomas Seward and Elizabeth Hunter. Elizabeth died, and it was Anna's obligation as the oldest daughter to take care of her father. However, as a result of her mother's death, Anna had the freedom not to marry. Honora Sneyd came to live with Anna's family when Honora was six years old. Although Anna was nine years older than Honora, the two still became very close. Anna was heartbroken when Honora left at nineteen to return to her father's home. They did not live far and could still spend time together though. Two years after that, Honora married Robert Edgeworth. Anna was heartbroken and felt betrayed, for Honora did not listen to Anna when trying to convince her not to marry. Honora died seven years after that, and Anna was again heartbroken. Anna became very well educated at home. She read French, Italian, and Latin. Anna wrote many poems to Honora. She also wrote poems about Penelope Weston, Miss Mompesson, Miss Fern, and Elizabeth Cornwallis (who Anna referred to as Clarissa). Elizabeth's father did not approve of female friendships, so Anna and Elizabeth were forced to keep their relationship a secret. Anna referred to Elizabeth as the "unpartaken and secret treasure of my soul." Anna also befriended Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, two women who eloped and lived together in Wales.

http://25.1911encyclopedia.org/S/SE/SEWARD_ANNA.htm

Extractions: SEWARD, ANNA (1747-1809), English writer, often called the " Swan of Lichfield," was the elder daughter of Thomas Seward (1708-1790), prebendary of Lichfield and of Salisbury, and author. Born at Eyam in Derbyshire, she passed nearly all her life in Lichfield, beginning at an early age to write poetry partly at the instigation of Dr. Erasmus Darwin. Her verses include elegies and sonnets, and she also wrote a poetical novel, Louisa, of which five editions were published. Miss Seward's writings, which include a large number of letters, are decidedly commonplace, and Horace Walpole said she had " no imagination, no novelty." Sir Walter Scott edited her Poetical Works in three volumes (Edinburgh, 1810); to these he prefixed a memoir of the authoress, adding extracts from her literary correspondence. He refused, however, to edit the bulk of her letters, and these were published in six volumes by A. Constable as Letters of Anna Seward 1784-1807 (Edinburgh, 1811). Miss Seward also wrote Memoirs of the Life of Dr Darwin (1804). See E. V. Lucas, A Swan and her Friends (1907); and S. Martin, Anna Seward and Classic Lichfield (1909).

http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/britpo/unsex/unsex-app2.html

Extractions: The second half of the eighteenth century brought about a marked shift in the conception of literary address and literary audience; poets stopped addressing wealthy patrons, and, increasingly, began to address one another. "Circles" and "acquaintanceships" were the most common form of discourse; intertextuality dialogue was the order of the day. Never has there been a time when "literary society" has been so dominating a structure, perhaps because at this time both aspects of the term were at a peak. Prior to this time, the society to which so many Renaissance and Restoration poets belonged was not exclusively literary; after this time, the dawn of the mass audience, and the proliferation of writers in all social classes ended any sense of a close-knit society. Given all this, it is important to note that the dialogue between Polwhele and his adversaries, as well as that between Polwhele and his ostensible allies, was an extremely onesided one. His main adversary, Wollstonecraft, could not defend herself, of course; but of the myriad of other writers mentioned in The Unsex'd Females , the only direct respondent appears to have been Mathias, who evidently added a "contemptuous" mention of Polwhele to a subsequent edition of The Pursuits of Literature . The only other writer willing to enter any sort of dialogue with Polwhele is Anna Seward. Her "Sonnet," admittedly, is not a defense of
