	Adelaide Anne Procter
		Adelaide Anne Procter, (October 30, 1825 - February 2, 1864), English poet, was the daughter of the poet Bryan Waller Procter.
		She began to contribute to Household Words in 1853, and adopted the name of "Mary Berwick," so that the editor, Charles Dickens, should not be prejudiced by his friendship for the Procters.
		Her principal work is Legends and Lyrics, of which a first series, published in 1858, ran through nine editions in seven years, while a second series issued in 1860 met with a similar success.

		Loved and admired by her father, her editor, Charles Dickens, and her friend W. Thackeray, Adelaide Anne Procter wrote from the heart of London literary circles and, from this position, mounted a subtle and creative critique of the ideas and often gendered positions adopted by male predecessors and contemporaries such as John Keble, Robert Browning......

		This study is concerned with four Victorian women poets-Dora Greenwell, Adelaide Anne Procter, Christina Rossetti, and Augusta Webster-who were involved in efforts to reclaim prostitutes from the street and retrain them for re-entry into respectable society.
		Adelaide Anne Procter's “A Legend of Provence” mounts an argument for the fallen woman's total reclamation.
		Augusta Webster challenges the notion of fallenness as a moral category in “A Castaway.” In its place, Webster suggests that prostitution be considered a legitimate form of women's work, and in doing so, effectively rejects the notion of fallenness as a moral category.

	Miscellaneous Papers - PAPER VI
		Miss Procter was born in Bedford Square, London, on the 30th of October, 1825.
		Her love of poetry was conspicuous at so early an age, that I have before me a tiny album made of small note-paper, into which her favourite passages were copied for her by her mother's hand before she herself could write.
		As Miss Procter had herself professed the Roman Catholic Faith two years before, she entered with the greater ardour on the study of the Piedmontese dialect, and the observation of the habits and manners of the peasantry.

	Charles Dickens - Miscellaneous Papers - 7 - Adelaide Anne Procter -- Introduction To Her "Legends And Lyrics" - ...
		In the spring of the year 1853, I observed, as conductor of the weekly journal Household Words, a short poem among the proffered contributions, very different, as I thought, from the shoal of verses perpetually setting through the office of such a periodical, and possessing much more merit.
		Those readers of Miss Procter's poems who should suppose from their tone that her mind was of a gloomy or despondent cast, would be curiously mistaken.
		With the recollection of Miss Procter as a mere child and as a woman, fresh upon me, it is natural that I should linger on my way to the close of this brief record, avoiding its end.

	Adelaide Anne Procter: Reviews
		This is a fault, however, almost inevitable in a studied collection of minor poems, since many are doubtless allowed place for the purpose of swelling the volume to the requisite size, and perhaps stand even lower in the estimation of the author than in that of the reader.
		The number of Miss Procter's poems, however, which attain to a positive degree of merit, is quite large enough to give to her book a pleasant tone, and to render it an agreeable addition to the stock of modern poetry.
		A few of the poems in this volume have appeared in Household Words, and it is no slight evidence of their power that they will recur as familiar strains to those who lighted on them among miscellaneous reading many months ago.

	A List of Collaborative Works by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins
		While Dickens had an average annual income of anywhere from £1,163 to £1,652 from his work on the magazine, Collins was initially paid by the column.
