Title:

ALBUM OF MARTHA S. BROWNE: commenced in 1828 and maintained by her until at least 1837, with subsequent entries probably collected by others; 1738-1908, n.d. Many entries are by or relate to Mary Ann Browne, Martha Browne's sister, who published several volumes of poetry both under her maiden name, and under her married name of Gray; pencilled marginalia in the album mistakenly identify Mary Ann Browne as the poet Mrs Hemans, whose maiden name was also Browne. No family links have been traced between Mrs Gray and Mrs Hemans; however, the album reveals them to have enjoyed a similar circle of literary acquaintance in Lancashire. The post-1837 signatures have been selectively indexed. Purchased from Phillips, November 1996.

Paper. ff. ii+184. Contemporary binding. 270 x 210 mm.
