Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Stella, and Other Poems, by Florenz
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Charlotte Elliot
Edit ProfileCareer
Her maternal grandfather was Reverend Daniel Lysons. Charlote Carnegie was thus a younger sister to James Carnegie, 9th Earl of Southesk. In 1855, Charlotte was raised to the social rank of an earl"s daughter by royal warrant.
Granting her the courtesy title of Lady.
She was widowed in 1864. A few years later, she published her first volume of poetry: Stella, and other poems (1867) under the pseudonym "Florenz".
The eponymous poem of the collection,Stella, is set in the Italian Peninsula. lieutenant features the doomed love of Count Marone and Stella.
He is a man seeking Italian unification, she is a daughter of the Neapolitan aristocracy which is resisting this cause.
Her early death causes her lover to seek the perils of the battlefield, in an attempt to distract his mind. The subject matter is similar to Maud (1855) by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Other poems of the collection seem focused on themes of "intense and painful experience", such as Desolate (concerning the emotions felt when a person is abandoned by a lover) and The Prayer of the Penitent (concerning the experience of shame before God).
Frederick was the fifth son of admiral George Elliot (1784-1863) and Eliza Cecilia Ness.
His father was a younger brother of Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 2nd Earl of Minto. A decade later, Charlotte published her second volume of poetry: The eponymous poem, Medusa, features the figure of Medusa from Classical mythology.
The poem is sympathetic to Medusa, featuring its protagonist experiencing "days of despair" and "unspeakable woe" from the time of her transformation to her death at the hands of Perseus. The other poems of the collections are melancholic tales "on time, love and death".
Charlotte died on 15 January 1880.
A third volume of poetry, Mary Magdalene and other poems (1880), was published posthumously. According to her requests, only fifty copies of this collection were printed. Her husband died on 23 December of the same year.
They were survived by a single son, Gilbert Compton Elliot (1871-1931).
Gilbert went on to serve in the Black Watch, reaching the rank of Lieutenant.
