Felicia Hemans was the most widely read woman poet in the nineteenth-century English-speaking world. Broadviews edition shows why she was one of the few standard poets to be found in middle-class homes on both sides of the Atlantic, despite being routinely disparaged as a merely feminine poet. Included here is poetry representative of her entire career, from often-anthologized works, such as The Homes of England and Casabianca, to several long poems in their entirety, such as The Forest Sanctuary. Also included are selections of her prose and letters, a comprehensive introduction, and selections of views and reviews showing her changing and controversial place in culture into the twentieth century. All selections are edited, annotated, and introduced.

Felicia Dorothea Hemans was born on September 25, 1794 in Liverpool, Lancashire.
She studied Latin and French through a tutor who admired her intellectual faculties.
Hemans published her first collection, Poems (1808), at the age of 14. The opening line of the former poem, "Casabianca, " has been parodied ad nauseam. Beyond that, the name of the poet who wrote these lyrics, which have become part of the English language, is little known.
Years later, on having to leave Wales, she was inspired to write "The Welsh Melodies. "
From 1831 she lived in Dublin. Her major collections, including "The Forest Sanctuary" (1825), "Records of Woman and Songs of the Affections" (1830) were immensely popular, especially with female readers.
Her last books, sacred and profane, are the substantive "Scenes and Hymns of Life and National Lyrics", and "Songs for Music".
