Of certain interest to collections of Edgar Allan Poe, with whom the author's literary reputation appears permanently fettered (see below). Exceptionally scarce. [Excerpt from:The Women of the American Revolution] More than a century-and-a-half ago, Elizabeth F. Ellet (1818-1877) began the process that scholars continue today of recovering and recording the lives and contributions of women. One of the best-known writers of her day, Ellet published prolifically in a wide variety of genres. In part because she refused to follow expected roles for women, she became embroiled in public battles with prominent literary men, such as Edgar Allan Poe and Rufus W. Griswold. Consequently, despite her pioneering work as a precursor of feminist scholarship, Ellet has been cited by twentieth-century literary critics primarily in negative terms. However, Ellet was a major participant in the nineteenth-century literary scene and continues to be acknowledged by historians for her valuable early methodology in recovering women's history. Elizabeth Fries Lummis was born in Sodus Point, New York, in October 1818 to a well-to-do physician, William Nixon Lummis, and Sarah Maxwell Lummis. Educated at a female seminary at Aurora, New York, Ellet began writing poetry in her early teens. Her first book, published when she was sixteen and entitled Poems, Translated and Original (1835), collected her own poems, many previously published. [From Wikipedia] Elizabeth Fries Lummis Ellet (October 18, 1818 - June 3, 1877) was an American writer, historian and poet. She was the first writer to record the lives of women who contributed to the American Revolutionary War. Born Elizabeth Fries Lummis, in New York, she published her first book, Poems, Translated and Original, in 1835. She married the chemist William Henry Ellet and the couple moved to South Carolina. She had published several books and contributed to multiple journals. In 1845 she moved back to New York and took her place in the literary scene there. She was involved with a public scandal involving Edgar Allan Poe and Frances Sargent Osgood and, later, another involving Rufus Wilmot Griswold. Ellet's most important work, The Women of the American Revolution, was published in 1845. The three volume book profiled the lives of patriotic women in the early history of the United States. She continued writing until her death in 1877. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.

FIRST EDITION. 225 x 145 mm. (8 3/4 x 5 3/4"). 1 p.l. (title), 464 pp. Publisher's full brown morocco, covers with elaborate gilt titling within attractive gilt frame, raised bands, spine gilt in compartments, gilt dentelles, all edges gilt. With frontispiece and 13 steel-engraved portraits of prominent American women. â A hint of shelf wear (including a little of rubbing to bottom edges), a few instances of faint thumbing and the odd negligible marginal stain, but A FINE COPY INSIDE AND OUT. Elizabeth Fries Ellet (1818-77) was the first writer to document seriously the contribution of women in the American Revolution. Her interest in women's work and the domestic arts also led her to write important accounts of women artists, pioneers, and, in the present book, of members of the upper echelon of American society from colonial times to the 1860's.
