	the biography of Felicia Dorothea Hemans - life story
		Felicia was a clever child who began to read at an early age and did so voraciously from the well-stocked family library.
		Hemans moved to Dublin in 1831, where she could be near one of her brothers.
		Hemans' strong support of familial ideals was one reason why contemporaries accepted her in the roles of loving daughter and parent, and treated her separation from her husband sympathetically, as an unfortunate circumstance which reflected poorly on the Captain rather than on her.

	The Biography of Felicia Hemans:
		Felicia also developed a very talented writing habit and, after spending two successful winters in London, she published her first two volumes of poetry in 1808 at the age of fourteen.
		Hemans takes decidedly one of the most prominent places among our female poets.” George Eliot deemed her poetry as “exquisite.” Although she received much acclaim for her poetry, there were quite a few critics opposed to her success as a woman poet.

		Hemans" became (as Norma Clarke put it) the "undisputed representative poet of Victorian imperial and domestic ideology." (22) But as the title lost luster, this already selective esteem of her works was further reduced by late-century anthologizers, and then her poetry disappeared, dismissed as outworn pretty pieties.
		Hemans could tap into these conflicting currents precisely because she was so adept in the mainstream—a complexity that also ripples through those famed "feminine qualities." Her references to male-authored traditions and texts could pay homage, or they could turn ironic and oppositional, reworking subjects from the perspective of women's lives, dissatisfactions and desires.

	Nineteenth-Century Literary Criticism \| Hemans, Felicia \| INTRODUCTION
		Hemans was born into the family of a Liverpool merchant whose business collapsed the year she was born; consequently, the family relocated to the Welsh countryside, the natural beauty of which echoed years later in much of her poetry.
		Although Hemans never referred to her failed marriage, biographers speculate that her husband might not have been sympathetic to her literary pursuits, and some commentators have attributed the pathos in many of Hemans's poems after this date to her husband's abandonment of the family.
		During the nineteenth century, Hemans was much admired for what were termed the moral and feminine qualities of her works, and her verse influenced popular taste in poetry long after her death.

		Felicia Hemans has historically been ill served by her editors, beginning already in her lifetime and continuing through most of the twentieth century.
		Hemans" is, unfortunately, the poet whom generations of readers came to know: the sentimental celebrant of hearth, home, and nation whose poetic ethos seemed to be epitomized in "Casablanca," the famous recitation piece that has been parodied for a century and a half.
		Wolfson presents herself as a sort of "test case" for a modern reader of Hemans, explaining how she came to the poet's work at a time when it was either virtually ignored or presented for what it was not: a primer on domesticity and a comfortably imperialistic world-view.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Felicia Hemans
		Hemans admired what she referred to as the “gentle fortitude” of Bailliean heroines, a paradoxical and inherently Christian strength in weakness that Hemans herself conveys through the characters of her Records of Woman and of her sonnet series “Female Characters of Scripture” (1834).
		When Felicia was seven years old, her father’s business failed as a result of the war between Britain and France, and the Browne family retreated from Liverpool to an old mansion in Northern Wales.
		Hemans biographer L. Sigourney foregrounds the importance of this close mother-daughter relationship, arguing that “by her prolonged residence under the maternal wing, [Felicia] was sheltered from the burden of those cares which sometimes press out the life of song” (Sigourney 1845: xi).

	Érudit \| RON n29-30 2003 : Sweet : “Under the subtle wreath”: Louise Bogan, Felicia Hemans, and Petrarchan Poetics1
		Hemans alludes directly to Petrarch’s laureate triumph in “The Magic Glass”; in poetry and prose she portrays the difficult laureateships of Sappho and Tasso.
		Both Hemans and Bogan seemed laureates to their contemporaries and successors, yet both found laurels an ambiguous donnée, Bogan a “burden” among flowers, Hemans a fiery crown for the likes of “the Bride of the Greek Isle.” Petrarch gained his laurels in a formal triumph at Rome, a scene mandating abjuration and entailing defeat.
		To couple Bogan and Hemans is to join the debate over the aesthetic value of poetry written by the woman poet, “Yes, the poetess, the sentimental one” (Finch 213); and more broadly the debate over the problems and powers of a woman poet dominant – influentially, commercially – in her time.

		For, only twenty years earlier, Hemans was writing to John Murray asking him to ‘[suggest to her] any subject, or style of writing, likely to be more popular’ than her current subject and style: her sense of what it means to be popular may include financial success, but certainly not aesthetic devaluation.
		Hemans believes that the form of the funereal monument will stimulate memory, as did the ‘Fair form’ of Chantrey’s statue of Lady Louisa Jane: it causes the mother’s memory of her lost child to ‘too piercingly return’ and causes ‘her soul [to] too deeply yearn’ for that child.
		Hemans invokes the monument to help this mother, seeming to request that art offer some permanent consolation for loss.
