Synopsis

Poems Of Sentiment And Imagination: With Dramatic And Descriptive Pieces by Frances A. Fuller and Metta Victoria Fuller is an early American compilation of lyric and narrative poetry published in 1851. The two sisters present a wide range of verse, from intimate meditations on love, memory, nature, and death to longer dramatic pieces such as AZLEA, a Romantic verse-drama with multiple acts, and shorter pieces that explore domestic tenderness, sorrow, and moral reflection. Frances A. Fuller contributes pieces like The Volunteer, The Deserted City, The Post-Boy’s Song, and The River’s Secret, among others, blending sentimental Romantic imagery with social feeling and moral pathos. Metta Victoria Fuller offers companion works, including The Poet Lovers, Lella, Angels, Fragment, AINA, and other pieces that fuse intimate feelings with spiritual and aesthetic contemplation. The collection showcases 19th-century American women poets, highlighting themes of mercy, faith, nature, memory, and imagination, as well as experiments with dramatic verse. The work reflects Victorian-era sensitivities and a pioneering voice for women poets in the United States.
