Distinguished as a poet and essayist, she was also in innovator in childrens literature, an eloquent supporter of liberal politics, and a literary critic of stature. This edition includes a generous selection of her poetry and the first comprehensive body of her prose in more than a century, with essays some never before reprinted on literature, religion, education, prejudice, womens fashions, and class conflict.
