Anna Seward: A Constructed Life By Teresa Barnard
Requirements: PDF Reader, 2 MB
Overview: In her critical biography of Anna Seward (1742-1809), Teresa Barnard examines the poet’s unpublished letters and manuscripts, providing a fresh perspective on Seward’s life and historical milieu that restores and problematizes Seward’s carefully constructed narrative of her life. Of the poet Anna Seward, it may be said with some veracity that hers was an epistolary life. "What is Known of Seward" comes from six volumes of her letters and from juvenile letters that prefaced her books of poetry, all published posthumously. That Seward intended her correspondence to serve as her autobiography is clear, but she could not have anticipated that the letters she intended for publication would be drastically edited and censored by her literary editor, Walter Scott, and by her publisher, Archibald Constable.
