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.

Estelle Anna Blanche Robinson Lewis was the daughter of John N. Robinson and was born in April, 1824 at her father's country home near Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Her father, who died while his daughter was an infant, was a Cuban by birth, of Anglo-Spanish descent, a man of means, culture, and social prestige. His wife was the daughter of an officer in the American Revolution.
Estelle was educated at Emma Willard's Female Seminary, Troy, New York, and remained a student throughout life. She became proficient in classical and modern languages and acquired some knowledge of the sciences and of law.
While still in school Estelle made translations from the 'neid into English verse and published stories in the Family Magazine, edited by Solomon Southwick, at Albany, New York. She always devoted the greater part of her time to literary work. She contributed, under the name "Stella, " poems, stories, translations, and articles on art, literature, and travel to the Democratic Review, the American Review, the Spirit of the Nineteenth Century, Graham's Magazine, Godey's Lady's Book, the Home Journal, and the Literary World.
Public attention was first attracted to her poetry by the romantic poem, "The Ruins of Palenque, " which appeared in the New World. In 1844 her first volume of poems, Records of the Heart, was published under the pen-name Sarah Anna Lewis. Included in her later works are Child of the Sea and Other Poems (1848); Myths of the Minstrel (1852); Sappho; a Tragedy, in Five Acts (1875); and The King's Stratagem; or, the Pearl of Poland; a Tragedy in Five Acts (1869). Her poetry is always somewhat stiff and over-regular in meter and rhyme, but it has emotional appeal. Her favorite type was the narrative poem of romance and heroic passion. Her last work was a sonnet series eulogizing Poe.
She was extravagently praised in her own time but the sincerity of some of the eulogy has since been called into question. It has been said that Poe, who was a friend of the Lewises, at a time of financial need accepted money from Sylvanus Lewis to revise and write flattering reviews of his wife's poetry. He is also said to have written the sketch of Mrs. Lewis which appeared in Rufus Wilmot Guswold's Female Poets of America.
She died in London, but her body was later removed to the United States for burial.
Her best longer poems are generally conceded to be "Child of the Sea, " a tale of sea adventure in the style of Byron, and Sappho, which, translated into modern Greek, was staged at Athens. Of her minor poems, perhaps the best are "Lament of La Vega in Captivity, " "The Angel's Visit, " and "The Forsaken. "
