      <image:title>sarah helen whitman - Sarah Helen Whitman.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sarah Helen Whitman [1. 19. 1803 - 6. 27. 1873] was an American poetess, essayist, and literary critic who spent the majority of her life in Providence, Rhode Island, where she led a literary salon, participated in progressive educational reform and abolitionist societies, and served as a leader in the Rhode Island suffragette movement. An avid worshipper of beauty, Whitman was exceptionally well read and delighted in creating, partaking in, analyzing, and defending artistic spirit wherever she discovered it. Perhaps best known to modern readers for her brief engagement to Edgar Allan Poe in the fall of 1848, Whitman served not only as Poe’s muse during those last months of his life, but also proved his staunchest defender in the aftermath of his death. Her publication Poe and His Critics (1860) not only illustrated her own aesthetic and intellectual prowess, but also catapulted her to the forefront of Poe studies. Indeed, her careful collection of Poe memorabilia and nuanced exploration of his tortured movements resulted in her slow assumption of the role of expert, and she spent her later life aiding numerous of his biographers in their pursuit of an accurate estimate of her Poe.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Frances Sargent Locke Osgood [6. 18. 1811 – 5. 12. 1850] was an American poetess, children’s author, and essayist who achieved transatlantic success through her voluminous poetic output across the 1830s and 1840s. A regular contributor to both American and British journals, Osgood achieved widespread popularity while living in England, where she produced her first two volumes of poetry before returning home to become a primary contributor for such well-known periodicals as Graham’s Magazine and Godey’s Lady’s Magazine. A fixture at Anne Lynch’s salon from 1845-1846, Osgood’s reputation as simple “songbird” poetess allowed critics of both her own and modern times to approach her work reductively, slating her as a “sentimental” poetess. Recent discoveries in the Osgood archive, however, have revealed that this reputation may have been as intentional a construction on Osgood’s part as that of her poetry itself and that the “real” Osgood was neither so simplistic nor so reducible as her male contemporaries wished her to be.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Elizabeth Fries Ellet [10. 18. 1818 – 6. 3. 1877] was an American translator, poetess, and historian whose consistent publications in both periodical and bound form ensured her lasting popularity amongst audiences of the mid-nineteenth century. An attendee of Lynch’s salon in the late 1840s, Ellet demonstrated inexhaustible commitment to her art, popularizing the genre of travel writing and generating awareness of European culture through her writings before ultimately assuming editorship of the New York Evening Express in the last decade of her life. Ellet’s most lasting contribution to scholarship is undoubtedly her multi-volume series, The Women of the American Revolution, which proved groundbreaking as the first work of Revolutionary history penned by a woman and the first work by any author to focus on Revolutionary era women. Ellet’s methods in assembling her portraits of these women prefigured the turn of modern feminist archival practices and served to carve out a space for women in the then-male-dominated realm of historical study.</image:caption>

      <image:title>anne lynch botta - Anne Lynch Botta</image:title>
      <image:caption>Anne Lynch Botta [11. 11. 1815 – 3. 23. 1891] was an American poetess, pedagogue, and salonnière who rose to prominence on the New York City literary scene where she hosted a salon for over thirty years. Considered the best of its kind in the nation, Anne’s salon became a favourite gathering place of many of her century’s notables, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allan Poe, Louisa May Alcott, Herman Melville, and others whose names have since fallen into obscurity. In addition to masterminding her salon, Anne maintained a lifelong interest in pedagogy, which she explored by teaching and tutoring composition for over fifteen years in her younger life and remaining involved in progressive educational initiatives in her later decades. Her interest in both literature and pedagogy eventually led her to produce the 1860 tome Handbook of Universal Literature, which many colleges employed as their literature textbook by the close of the 19th century and which is still available for perusal in university libraries.</image:caption>

      <image:title>about - Living archives, evolving projects.</image:title>
      <image:caption>What ho. I’m Percy. When I proposed creating this archive as my final project for a graduate seminar in Archival Research Methods and Methodologies, I imagined a much simpler affair. The site was to feature four women from the life of Edgar Allan Poe, each of whom would be granted one page featuring a 500 hundred word biography, a hat tip to their archives, and a short list of whatever original works I could find through a cursory search of Archive.org. Clearly, the project evolved. As I studied and collected materials for these figures, their lives gripped me. I had begun my research with the proclamation that these women’s stories deserved to be told, but this had been a statement of principle—a declaration of intent more than a declaration of belief. As I studied the women, I was shocked to discover the strides they’d taken for both literature and women through their pens; shocked to discover the true pathos of their lives, the magnetism of their personalities, and the significance of their careers. These were, indeed, women whose stories needed telling. I began my study of Anne Lynch Botta, Frances Sargent Osgood, Elizabeth Ellet, and Sarah Helen Whitman as an outgrowth of my interest in their mutual acquaintance, E. A. Poe. I continue that study now as a tribute to their own selves, independent of any other figure. Traditionally their import would be subordinated to the Poes and Longfellows of their era; overshadowed by the lives of the canonized few. Here I have elected to tell the story of the same era these men occupied, but to tell it from an oblique angle—to tell it slant. Thank you for reading that story.</image:caption>

      <image:title>alb bio - Anne Lynch Botta.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“What a divine power is this of acquiring knowledge!” - Lynch, 1838 Anne Lynch [11.11.1815 – 3.23.1891] was born into a revolutionary household. Her mother, Charlotte Gray, was the granddaughter of a Revolutionary War officer; her father, Patrick Lynch, was a native Dubliner who had, at the age of sixteen, participated in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Unfortunately, this happy household dissolved a few short years after Anne’s birth when her father died in a tragic shipwreck in the West Indies. Despite their altered circumstances, Charlotte fought with the grit of her ancestors to maintain the quality of her children’s upbringing, and both Anne and her elder brother, Thomas began their formal education in elite schools. At the age of sixteen, Anne—already showing signs of brilliance—secured entrance to the Albany Female Academy, one of the most progressive institutions of women’s education in the nineteenth century. While enrolled at the Academy, Anne’s creativity and scholarship blossomed. She excelled in her coursework, earning class honors and multiple awards for her poetry. However, coursework was not the only concern to occupy her mind. Unlike her aristocratic peers whose tuition was absorbed by their parents, Anne was not free of the care of her own tuition, and she was forced to defray her own expenses while in school. She accomplished this partially by means of her brother, who procured copyediting work for Anne from local journals, and partially by means of her own creative efforts—that is, by selling pieces of her own to journals. Thus, necessity—the oft-heralded mother of invention—in this instance proved the mother of a literary career.</image:caption>

      <image:title>shw bio - Sarah Helen Whitman.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Throughout her life, Whitman published her works under the name “Helen”, which she preferred to her given name. We have, accordingly, elected to honor that preference and refer to her exclusively as Helen. The sight of the name of Whitman paired with that of poetry is no surprise to any student of American literature. The knowledge that Walt Whitman was not the first of that surname to take up a pen in the service of verse, however—and the fact that the verse of the female Whitman was better received during the 19th century—is likely to serve as something of a shock to modern readers. Sarah Helen Powers Whitman was born on January 19, 1803 in the port city of Providence, Rhode Island. The second of three children born to Nicholas and Anna Marsh Powers, the tenor of Helen’s early life was largely determined by an almost piratical adventure that first befell and then was perpetuated by her father. In 1813, while the War of 1812 was at its height, British forces stationed along the New England coastline captured Nicholas and held him prisoner until the end of the war. These two years of absence alone would have significantly altered the configuration of his family; however, instead of hastening to his family upon his release, Nicholas instead chose to extend that absence, and he spent the next sixteen years roving about upon international adventures. Although he eventually returned after a twenty-year absence—and silence—the effects of his philandering were, by this time irreversible. Helen had come of age without a father. Following the disappearance of their provider, the young Powers family was thrown upon their wider relations for support. Where male protection had faltered, Helen quickly found herself embalmed in the nurturing overtures of her aunts. One of these assumed formal responsibility for Helen’s education, which she began at a Quaker school in Long Island, NY. After completing this programme, Helen returned to Providence to join the establishment of a second aunt, who allowed Helen full access to her own library and enrolled her in a local finishing school. Between these educational stints, Helen developed a fluency in German, French, and Italian, and began not only to read but also to write poetry.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Later in her life, Elizabeth Ellet (10.18.1812-8 – 6.3.1877) would produce a three volume history of the daughters of the American Revolution. In this hefty set, Ellet painstakingly accentuated the bravery, integrity, virtue, and patriotism of the women of the Revolution while producing a work that was lauded in its time as a scrupulously researched tribute to her country’s founding matrons. While not a daughter of the Revolution herself, Ellet revealed her unique relationship to the demographic in her dedication of the work: “To my Mother, Sarah Maxwell Lummis, the Daughter of a Revolutionary Officer, This Work is Respectfully and Affectionately Inscribed.” (Women of the American Revolution, Vol. I, pg. iii) Ellet, then, as she carefully established, was a daughter of a daughter of the revolution. More specifically, Ellet’s mother, Sarah Maxwell Lummis, was the daughter of Captain John Maxwell and the niece of Brigadier General William Maxwell, both of whom fought in the Revolution and inspired in Sarah—and, subsequently, Elizabeth—a spirit of indomitable perseverance and plucky self-sufficiency. Her father’s line was less martial but equally distinguished, and through his skill as a physician Dr. William Nixon Lummis was enabled to install the small Lummis family comfortably upon the shores of Lake Ontario. Here, Elizabeth took her first breaths in Sodus Point, upstate New York. Somewhat surprisingly, given that the scene of our study is the nineteenth century, rather than an era of antiquity, there is some confusion surrounding the date of Elizabeth’s birth. While her birthdate traditionally has been held to fall in 1818, the recent discovery of her New York City death certificate casts suspicion on this date, implying that she was born a full six years earlier, in 1812. This discrepancy is significant for, while it can hardly alter our perception of her later life, the later date would earn her the title of child genius—and child bride. In the interests of preserving historical accuracy, I have attempted to refer to dates on which events occurred rather than noting the year in Elizabeth’s life in which it fell; when an age seemed significant, I have included both possible ages for reference by the reader.</image:caption>

      <image:title>fso bio - Frances Sargent Osgood.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Frances Sargent Locke was born on June 18, 1811 into the geographical hub of America’s intellectual society: Boston, Massachusetts. Frances’ father, the well-to-do merchant Joseph Locke, married her mother, Mary Ingersoll Foster Locke after the death of his first wife, Martha, who—incidentally—was Mary’s older sister. Mary, a widow herself, brought several children to the marriage; this second union produced a further seven children, of which Frances was the sixth. That each of these children was provided with a quality education despite the costs attendant upon educating such a large crop of offspring is proven by both records and results. The children received private, in-home tutoring and no fewer than four of them—Anna Maria Wells, Mrs. E. D. Harrington, A. A. Locke, and, of course, Frances—became popular writers in their century. In 1828, Osgood rounded out her private education at the prestigious Boston Lyceum for Young Ladies, where Margaret Fuller had studied earlier in the decade. Although only seventeen when she entered the Boston Lyceum, Frances entered it a published poet. Beginning in 1826, her poetry had regularly appeared in a popular children’s magazine entitled Juvenile Miscellany, founded and edited by the famed children’s author and later social rights activist, Lydia Maria Child. Largely thanks to Child’s patronage, Osgood’s fledgling career took flight, and her poetry soon graced the pages of a second Boston journal, the Ladies’ Magazine, as well as those of the Charleston Southern Rose.</image:caption>
