  Although the title poem of this 19th century poet's first published collection of poetry garnered her much praise and the standing of heiress-apparent to the recently-deceased Elizabeth Barrett Browning as England's "female poet laureate," she later lost some of that acclaim, and some of her works only became widely known posthumously. Having dwelt in obscurity during much of the 20th century, her work -- which is also firmly embedded in her Christian belief system -- has more recently regained much of its original attention, however, and been interpreted as a commentary on Victorian gender roles, as well as a criticism on war, slavery, and all forms of cruelty against humans and animals alike.

  "My previous letters and telegrams have kept you pretty well up to date as to all that has occurred in this most God-forsaken corner of the world.

When you are once out upon its bosom you have left all traces of modern England behind you, but, on the other hand, you are conscious everywhere of the homes and the work of the prehistoric people."
