Anna Seward (1747-1809) Autumn Leaves To Mr. Henry Cary, on the Publication of His Sonnets On a Lock of Miss Sarah Seward's Hair, Who Died in Her Twentieth Year Autumn Leaves Behold that tree in autumn's dim decay, Stripped by the frequent chill and eddying wind; Where yet some yellow lonely leaves we find Lingering and trembling on the naked spray, Twenty, perchance, for millions whirled away! Emblemalas too just!of human kind: Vain man expects longevity, designed For few indeed; and their protracted day What is it worth that wisdom does not scorn? The blasts of sickness, care, and grief appal, That laid the friends in dust, whose natal morn Rose near their own!and solemn is the call; Yet, like those weak, deserted leaves forlorn, Shivering they cling to life and fear to fall. To Mr. Henry Cary, on the Publication of His Sonnets Praised be the poet who the sonnet's claim, Severest of the orders that belong Distinct and separate to the Delphic song, Shall venerate, nor its appropriate name Lawless assume. Peculiar is its frame From him derived who shunned the city throng And warbled sweet thy rocks and streams among

Click for News Releases Return to Homepage Anna Seward - (1742-1809) The Swan of Lichfield The Romantic poet, memorialist and letter writer, Anna Seward, came to Lichfield in 1750 when her father was appointed Canon Residentiary of Lichfield Cathedral, eventually occupying the Bishop’s Palace, her home for the remainder of her life. Anna formed an early close relationship with Honora Sneyd, who was adopted by the Sewards as a child. Their painful separation when Honora married Richard Lovell Edgeworth in 1773 prompted some of Anna’s finest work. Anna herself had many offers of marriage, but never married. Devoted to caring for her sick father, she endured what she referred to as her “old-maidism”, building a renowned literary coterie around herself and encouraging young, talented writers with support, advice and even money. Her poem, the Elegy on Captain Cook , (1780) first brought Anna to national attention and gained her the title; the ‘Swan of Lichfield’. There followed a poetical novel, Louisa , a volume, Llangollen Vale and a collection of sonnets. She collaborated with Dr Darwin, writing the exordium for his own major work

Lesbian Poetry Historical Poetry Contemporary Poetry Resources for Poets and Readers Lesbian Poetry FAQ ... Historical : Anna Seward Anna Seward Anna Seward was a poet and a prolific correspondent of the late eighteenth century. She was the daughter of Thomas Seward, the canon of Lichfield, and Elizabeth Hunter. Elizabeth died and left Thomas a widoweran event that left Anna without a mother but with the freedom not to marry. As the eldest daughter, it was her responsibility to care for her father, and so she stayed at Lichfield and tended to him through senility. When he died, she was in her forties, and no longer under any social obligation to marry. As she was quite outspoken in her opinions of marriage (openly criticizing popular guidebooks for women that purported any marriage as preferable to none) the inability to marry young does not seem to have been a problem for her. Anna was well-educated, known for her lively, generous nature and her unconventional ideas. She was educated at home, and read French, Italian, and Latin. Lichfield was one of the major provincial literary centers of the 18th century, and hers was a literary household. She began writing poetry young, publishing in periodicals and circulating her poems among friends. Her style of verse was more conventional than her ideas, tending toward the enthusiastic and sentimental. She wrote many poems commemorating events and celebrating special places, and she is best known for these, as well as for her elegies. But another important topic to her was love, passionately expressed but always cast as friendship, and often directed toward Honora Sneyd.

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Seward, Anna (1742-1809) Dubbed the "Swan of Lichfield," Anna Seward was eldest daughter of Thomas Seward, canon residentiary of Lichfield Cathedral. Encouraged to write by Erasmus Darwin, Seward became one of the best known English women poets of her time. She also published in the Gentleman's Magazine, sometimes under the pseudonym "Benvolio," and engaged in debates with other critics. Widely connected to writers and clergy, Seward lived her entire life at Lichfield and never married. She seems to have been liked and admired for her liveliness and generosity though criticized for self-importance, outspokenness, and unconventionality. Sponsor Message. 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. Their relationship subjected them to censure though Seward insisted it was "pure and disinterested." She was grief-stricken by Saville's sudden death in 1803. 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. After the death of Anna's sister Sarah in 1763, Honora became her closest companion, and the attachment grew more intense. Seward expressed her passionate devotion through her involvement in Honora's romantic life as well as in poetry dedicated to her.

[Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map Anna Seward Profile Poet. Born at Eyam Rectory, Derbyshire, on 12 December 1747. Thomas Seward, her father, became a canon at Lichfield Cathedral in 1757 and the family moved to the city, where Anna was to live the rest of her life. She wrote poetry from a early age and began to have items published in periodicals as well as giving copies to her friends and acquaintances. Through this activity she became an active member of the literary fraternity in Lichfield, which included Erasmus Darwin , the grandfather of Charles Darwin , and was dubbed the "Swan of Lichfield". Others associated with the circle included the friends, Thomas Day and Richard Lovell Edgeworth (father of Maria Edgeworth). Her verse is of a romantic nature, either recalling her own experience of places and events or on more general themes of love, often emanating from her own romantic inclinations. She became very attached to various female friends during her life, particularly Honora Sneyd, who lived with the Sewards during her youth. Anna was apparently devastated when Honora married their mutual literary acquaintance Richard Edgeworth. Anna never married. Works A collected edition of the poetry of Anna Seward, in three volumes, was edited by Sir Walter Scott and was published in 1810. Her letters, in six volumes, appeared in 1811.
