About this book

Childhood verses, family poems and historical scenes share space in this wide collection of Felicia Hemans's writing. The contents begin with a birthday poem written for her mother at eight, then move through domestic affections, Welsh melodies, translations and poems drawn from Greek and Spanish subjects. Sonnets and songs sit alongside longer narrative works, with critical annotations supplied for several sections.

One narrative turns from a public procession in Spain to an intensely personal recognition. A speaker watches prisoners condemned for their beliefs and discovers a friend from childhood among them. Memories of shared games and military service bring conscience and loyalty into conflict with accepted custom.
