Another Poe acquaintance was the Author Miss CATHERINE M. SEDGWICK, who was brought up in western Massachusetts in a family of lawyers and judges (her father became Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court.) She was a successful novelist in her own right, publishing 1824's "A New England Tale. Redwood, " a best seller. Her work was favorably compared to that of her contemporary James Fenimore Cooper. Poe described her appearance in detail in a column in Godey's Lady's Book of 1846 (Vol. 33, pp. 131-132) in a column titled "The Literati of New York City"."Her forehead is an unusually fine one, [the] nose of a slightly Roman curve; eyes dark and piercing; mouth well-formed and remarkably pleasant in its expression. The portrait in Graham's Magazine is by no means a likeness." Ms. Osgood was, then, being extensively written about in the main literary outlets of the day. She provides six selections here.**LYDIA MARIA CHILD (1802-1880), another influential Massachusetts author and editor, was also a first wave feminist known for her promotion of many causes considered "radical" in her day. Abolitionism, the rights of indigenous people, and women's suffrage were among her causes, and she also wrote a novel about interracial marriage in 1824. She and her husband also worked with Newburyport-born abolitionist William Lloyd Garrrison's anti-slavery movement in Boston. [ See our related listing for "The History of the Condition of Women, in Various Ages and Nations," our no. 9258.] In this volume, LMC offers four selections: "Recollections of Ole Bull," "She Waits in the Spirit Land," "The Self-Conscious, and the Unconscious," and "The Neighbor-in-Law." **Newburyport's HANNAH FLAGG GOULD (1789-1865) is also represented in these pages with her poem, "The Empty Cradle." Gould was also a contemporary of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, writing for his anti-slavery newspaper, "The Liberator." [See our related listing 7250.] **ANNA BLACKWELL (1816-1900) Bristol, England-born, Author and Poet later associated with the Transcendentalists at Boston's Brook Farm, also provides a number of poems in this collection. Like Child, she is considered a first wave feminist and radical thinker in the areas of woman's rights and abolitionism. She was also a correspondent of some intimate variety with E.A. Poe. **Her sister, Miss ELIZABETH BLACKWELL, (1821-1910) provides a short story, "Lyndhurst" to this issue. She would famously go on to become the first trained woman medical doctor in the United States, beginning her medical studies the following year,1847, at Geneva Medical College in New York. Prior to that, however, she and her five sisters made ends meet after the death of their father instructing at a private school run with their mother in Cincinnati. A male contributor, James Kirk Paulding, forgoing credit with the byline,"By an Amateur," adds a spirited critique of midcentury spiritualism in "Panegyric on Witchcraft, Mesmerism and Cheap Literature." On LMC's "The Children of Mount Ida," see BAL 3155.
