This critical edition of the poems of

Anna Seward (17421809)
re-establishes one of the most popular
and prolific poets of the early Romantic
period. Her work influenced Charlotte
Smith and Mary Robinson and later
both Wordsworth and Coleridge.
Her reputation was so high that Sir
Walter Scott edited the posthumous
edition of her poems in 1810. Unlike
Scotts, this edition reproduces the
poems as they were first published
in periodicals and collections during
Sewards lifetime, allowing scholars to
experience them as eighteenth-century
readers did. It also includes more than
200 poems that were excluded from the
Scott edition.

The Collected Works of Ann Yearsley
Editor: Kerri Andrews
Consultant Editors: Tim Fulford and Bridget Keegan
Ann Yearsley (17531806) was a labouring-class poet and early Romantic figure and is perhaps
best known for the dispute she had with her patron, Hannah More. This is the first collected
edition of Yearsleys works. Previously unpublished poems are included alongside more familiar
verses, whilst her play, Earl Goodwin, and novel, The Royal Captives, are made available for the
first time since the eighteenth century. All known copies of Yearsleys letters are also published
here for the first time.
necessary: not merely to complete and correct the late twentieth-century
rehabilitation of this understandably pugnacious writer ... but more importantly,
to demonstrate all the things it is that her poems know Times Literary Supplement
