The letters of Dorothy Percy Sidney, Countess of Leicester, dating predominantly from about 1636 until 1643, cover a wide range of issues and vividly illustrate her centrality to her illustrious family's personal and public affairs. These c.100 letters are here for the first time fully transcribed and edited. The edition includes a biographical and historical introduction, setting the context of the Sidneys' family and political activities at the time of Dorothy's marriage to Robert in 1615 and then tracing the major events and involvements of her life until her death in 1659. A key to the cipher used in the letters to disguise identities of individuals is also supplied. Following the introduction is the complete text of each of Dorothy Percy Sidney's letters to her husband, Robert, second Earl of Leicester, and to and from William Hawkins, the Sidney family solicitor, along with several others, including letters from Dorothy to Archbishop Laud and the Earl of Holland. Her husband's account of her last moments in 1659, and testamentary directions relating to her will, are also included. The letters are arranged in chronological order and supported by a series of footnotes that elucidate their historical context and briefly to identify key individuals, places, political issues and personal concerns. These notes are further supported by selective quotations from Dorothy's incoming correspondence and other related letters and documents. A glossary supplies more detailed information on 'Persons and Places.' Dorothy Percy Sidney's letters eloquently convey how, even with her undoubted personal potency and shrewd intelligence, the multifaceted roles expected of an able and determined aristocratic early modern Englishwoman-especially when her husband was occupied abroad on official business-were intensely demanding and testing.

She was born July 19, 1894 and died August 20, 1918. After a long illness her end came swiftly, and tragically. She had proved to have the smarts, moxie and determination to make the most of what life had to offer but her life was cut short at 26 years by diseases that modern medicine most likely would have cured. Her name was Dorothy Hedges and she was the oldest daughter of William Huntting Hedges, the fourth Keeper of Hereford Inlet Lighthouse, Anglesea, NJ. In 2012 I inherited several boxes of family records, personal letters, and pictures. These had been stored away in attics for almost a century, untouched - their contents remaining in pristine condition as I found out when I finally opened them in November 2016. Included was a formidable collection of professionally taken photos of kin presumably, with faces familiar in chin and eyes. Frustratingly, there were few names written anywhere front or back, folks then certainly knew who they were seeing, so why bother putting a name to a face, a place or a relation. The context was provided by what I found carefully saved in a small decorative box. Inside were over 60 letters, written by Dorothy to her mother, sisters (among them my grandmother) and friends, describing her exploits as a modern young woman experiencing college and career. Reading these letters was like being transported back in time - an experience I hadn't expected but had found so appealing and palpable I felt compelled to share them. I began researching in earnest to expand the context around these letters and connect the various references to people, places and things. Strangely, Dorothy had mentioned her father only twice in all these letters and then when she did, it raised more questions - "I wrote Papa yesterday and told him I expected to be home next week. I said I did not know which day but you would probably come for me anytime from Wed. on. I said I was sorry not to see him when he was home before but that the girls said something about his coming again soon so I ought to be there then. Was that all right?." Where was he? Why was he not home? What was he doing? "Was that all right?" Family lore was painfully void of answers beyond William's estrangement from first wife and family in 1906. He literally disappeared from mention. The answers begrudgingly emerged.

American Poetry: The Twentieth Century Vol. 1 (Loa #115): Henry Adams to Dorothy Parker

American Poetry: The Twentieth Century Vol. 1 (Loa #115): Henry Adams to Dorothy Parker

Library of America
2000

In the years between the beginning of the twentieth century and the end of World War II, American poetry was transformed, producing a body of work whose influence was felt throughout the world. Now for the first time the landmark two-volume Library of America anthology of twentieth-century poetry through the post-War years restores that era in all its astonishing beauty and explosive energy. This first volume of the set, organized chronologically by the poets' birthdates, takes the reader from Henry Adams (1838-1918) to Dorothy Parker (1893-1967), and in the process reveals the unfolding of a true poetic renaissance. Included are generous selections from some of the century's greatest poets: Edwin Arlington Robinson, Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, H.D., Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot. Here they are seen as part of an age that proposed new and often contentious definitions of what American poetry could be and fresh perceptions of a society undergoing rapid and often tumultuous change. The multifarious aesthetic influences brought to bear--Chinese and Japanese poetry, the African-American sermon, the artistic revolutions of Cubism and Dada, the cadences of jazz, the brash urgencies of vernacular speech--resulted in a poetic culture of dynamic energy and startling contrasts. The poets of this era transformed not only style but traditional subject matter: there are poems here on a silent movie actress, a lynching, the tenements of New York, the trench warfare of World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the landscape of Mars. Here too are folk ballads on events like the assassination of McKinley and the sinking of the Titanic; popular and humorous verse by Don Marquis and Franklin P. Adams; the famous "Spectra" hoax; song lyrics by Ma Rainey, Joe Hill, and Irving Berlin; and poems by writers as unexpected as Djuna Barnes, Sherwood Anderson, John Reed, and H. P. Lovecraft. Included are some of the century's most important poems, presented in full: Pound's Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, Eliot's The Waste Land, Steven's Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
