Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felicia Hemans (1793-1835), one of the most influential and widely-read poets of the nineteenth century, wrote Records of Woman in 1828 at the height of her long career. In the series, which includes nineteen poems about exemplary lives, Hemans explores what it means to be a woman, challenging traditional beliefs while at the same time reinforcing persistent stereotypes. Her work celebrates the lives, events, and imagined thoughts of unremembered women from different cultures and time periods whose deeds show nobility of spirit and inner strength. In her introduction, Paula Feldman examines how Hemans's poetry shaped and was shaped by nineteenth-century literary tastes, and she reconsiders the aesthetic value of Hemans's work and the current understanding of the nature of Romanticism.

Excerpt: ...with fond delay She linger'd on the threshold, heard the note Of her caged bird thro' trellis'd rose-leaves float, And fell upon her mother's neck, and wept, Whilst old remembrances, that long had slept, Gush'd o'er her soul, and many a vanish'd day, As in one picture traced, before her lay. But the farewell was said; and 6n the deep, When its breast heav'd in sunset's golden sleep, With a calm'd heart, young Madeline ere long Pour'd forth her own sweet solemn vesper-song, Breathing of home: thro' stillness heard afar, And duly rising with the first pale star, That voice was on the waters; till at last The sounding ocean-solitudes were pass'd, And the bright land was reach'd, the youthful world That glows along the West: the sails were furl'd In its clear sunshine, and the gentle bride Look'd on the home that promis'd hearts untried A bower of bliss to come.--Alas! we trace The map of our own paths, and long ere years With their dull steps the brilliant lines efface, On sweeps the storm, and blots them out with tears. That home was darken'd soon: the summer breeze Welcom'd with death the wanderers from the seas, Death unto one, and anguish how forlorn! To her, that widow'd in her marriage-morn, Sat in her voiceless dwelling, whence with him, Her bosom's first belov'd, her friend and guide, Joy had gone forth, and left the green earth dim, As from the sun shut out on every side, By the close veil of misery!--Oh! but ill, When with rich hopes o'erfraught, the young high heart / Bears its first blow!--it knows not yet the part Which life will teach--to suffer and be still, And with submissive love to count the flowers Which yet are spared, and thro' the future hours To send no busy dream!--She had not learn'd Of sorrow till that hour, and...

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...my weary soul thou hast wrung of grief and fear, Come to me from the ocean's dead! Awake, arise, appear!" Was it her yearning spirit's dream? Or did a pale form rise, And o'er the hushed wave glide and gleam, With bright, still, mournful eyes? "Have the depths heard? They have! My voice prevails: thou'rt there, Dim from thy watery grave--O thou that wert so fair! Yet take me to thy rest! There dwells no fear with love; Let me slumber on thy breast, While the billow rolls above! Where the long-lost things lie hid, where the bright ones have their home, We will sleep among the ocean's dead. Stay for me, stay!--I come!" There was a sullen plunge below, A flashing on the main; And the wave shut o'er that wild heart's woe--Shut, and grew still again. TO WORDSWORTH Thine is a strain to read among the hills, The old and full of voices, --by the source Of some free stream, whose gladdening presence fills The solitude with sound; for in its course Even such is thy deep song, that seems a part Of those high scenes, a fountain from their heart. Or its calm spirit fitly may be taken To the still breast in sunny garden bowers, .Where vernal winds each tree's low tones awaken, And bud and bell with changes mark the hours. There let thy thoughts be with me, while the day Sinks with a golden and serene decay. Or by some hearth where happy faces meet, When night hath hushed the woods with all their birds, There, from some gentle voice, that lay were sweet As antique music, linked with household words; While in pleased murmurs woman's lips might move, And the raised eye of childhood shine in love. Or where the shadows of dark solemn yews Brood silently o'er some lone burial-ground, Thy verse hath power that brightly might diffuse A breath, a...
