Felecia Hemans

Felecia's poem "Woman and Fame" talks about the role of women. It seems to me that all she wanted was to be loved as a woman and still do her works. I am sure that some of her other works come from her past. Her mothers husband leaving and then her husband leaving the family. She died very young and I wonder why?

Gloria,

I am glad to see you focusing on a specific poem by Hemans. I want to see you actually talking about the poem, though, by quoting passages and analyzing what the words mean and how they contribute to the meaning of the poem. It is OK to talk about Hemans' life, but you also need to provide specific details from her life, and cite the source for that information. Your postings seem too cursory for full credit at this point.
