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. Who is she?

To which poet is Anne Brontë addressing these lines?
“Sweet are thy strains, celestial Bard;
And oft, in childhood’s years,
I’ve read them o’er and o’er again,
With floods of silent tears.
The language of my inmost heart,
I traced in every line;
My sins, my sorrows, hopes and fears,
Were there – and only mine.
All for myself the sigh would swell,
The fear of anguish start;
I little knew what wilder woe
Had filled the Poet’s heart.”
