About this book
This narrative poem in blank verse is about a woman named Linda, whom the speaker proposes to celebrate while sparing her privacy, giving substantial truth under a light disguise. Epes Sargent, an American poet and editor, published it in Boston in 1870.
The nine parts include the father's story, the mother's story, a seaside section, and diaries kept by Linda and by Meredith, with songs and a hymn along the way. Endnotes close the volume. The dedicatory verses recall finishing it at Strawberry Hill above the Hudson.
