Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791-1865) was the most widely read and
respected pre-Civil War American woman poet in the English-speaking
world. In a half-century career, Sigourney produced a wide range of
poetry and prose envisaging the United States as a new kind of
republic with a unique mission in history, in which women like
herself had a central role. This edition contributes to the current
recovery of Sigourney and her republican vision from the oblivion
into which they were cast by the aftermath of the Civil War, the
construction of a male-dominated American "national" literary
canon, and the aesthetics of Modernism. In this Broadview edition,
a representative selection of poetry and prose from across her
career illustrates Sigourney's national vision and the diversity of
forms she used to promote it. In the appendices, letters and
documents illustrate her challenges and working methods in what she
called her "kitchen in Parnassus."
