	Isle of Lesbos: Poetry of Amy Lowell
		Anna Seward was a poet and a prolific correspondent of the late eighteenth century.
		Anna and Honora formed a close attachment; when Honora's father had her return to his household when she was nineteen, Anna was stricken, though relieved that Honora did not move far away and they could still spend time together.
		Anna's relationship with Elizabeth was something she undertook in the face of difficultly, as Elizabeth's father did not condone female friendships, forcing them to meet and correspond in secret.

	Anna Seward - LoveToKnow 1911
		SEWARD, ANNA (1747-1809), English writer, often called the "Swan of Lichfield," was the elder daughter of Thomas Seward (1708-1790), prebendary of Lichfield and of Salisbury, and author.
		Miss Seward's writings, which include a large number of letters, are decidedly commonplace, and Horace Walpole said she had "no imagination, no novelty." Sir Walter Scott edited her Poetical Works in three volumes (Edinburgh, 181o); to these he prefixed a memoir of the authoress, adding extracts from her literary correspondence.
		He refused, however, to edit the bulk of her letters, and these were published in six volumes by A. Constable as Letters of Anna Seward 1784-1807 (Edinburgh, 1811).

		Dubbed the "Swan of Lichfield," Anna Seward was eldest daughter of Thomas Seward, canon residentiary of Lichfield Cathedral.
		Although most of Seward's intense attachments were to women, scholars have focused on her deep involvement with John Saville, vicar choral at Lichfield and a renowned vocalist who was separated from his wife.
		Biographers have also noted Seward's passion for her foster sister Honora Sneyd, who came to live in the Seward household at the age of five when Anna was thirteen.

	Presentation Followup to poems by Anna Seward
		But the fact that Anna Seward was writing during a tension-filled time for gender relations, a time when women were threatening male control by their success in the marketplace, is noteworthy and highly illuminating to both her prose and poetry.
		Because Seward does not need to work around the Cartesian model in her letter writing and she is not limited to a 14-line form, she can naturally be more expressive in her letters.
		After reading Anna Seward's literary correspondence, which expresses her interest in the French Revolution, her rather feminist stance on marriage, and her own theories on poetry---"It has always been my endeavour to paint from nature, rather than to copy from books" (1786)-- I am inclined to agree with the latter critical perspective.

	Miss Anna Seward (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Anna Seward (1747-1809) was a Romantic poet and historian who was celebrated as the "inventress of epic elegy," and nicknamed the "Swan of Litchfield." The laurel wreath on her head and the scroll she holds refer to her literary achievements, as well as being attributes of the Greek muses of history and epic poetry.
		Seward's dress refers to the Greek muses, but may also reflect the Graeco-turkish style popular in England after 1740, particularly among Loyalists during the Revolutionary War.
		Seward sat for this portrait while both she and the artist were visiting Hayley on his estate in Sussex.

	Review of: Anna Seward, 1804, Biography of Erasmus Darwin. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		But it would appear that Miss Anna Seward has been too long accustomed to soar into the high and giddy regions of verse, to be able to tread with sober step and becoming gravity of air in the humbler pathway of prose.
		But Miss Seward does not stand forth as the indiscriminating panegyrist of her deceased friend; nor does she appear to have been withheld, by any violent or undue partialities, from discharging those ‘sacred duties of biography,’—‘beneath the ever present consciousness’ of which she would be understood to have proceeded.
		According to Miss Seward’s account, it was the perusal of her lines that suggested the idea of a great poem ‘on the Linnean system.’ The composition of it was begun very soon afterwards, but advanced so slowly, that ten years elapsed before the date of publication.

		Still, the presence of this poem only underscores the overwhelming absence of others; it appears that Polwhele was considered a marginal writer by both those who shared his values and those who did not.
		It should also be noted that Seward is evidently attempting an homage in style; this sonnet is the only one of Seward's poems in the Scott edition to have a footnote attached.
