    Extractions: The Victorian Web Lydia Huntley Sigourney Media The "Sweet Singer of Hartford" for whom Sigourney Street was named, one of the first American women to succeed at a literary career. A teacher, born in Norwich, Lydia Huntley moved to Hartford at the invitation of Daniel Wadsworth to open a school for the daughters of his friends. With her marriage to Charles Sigourney in 1819 came financial stability, allowing her to give up teaching and devote herself full time to writing and publishing anonymously.. Lydia used proceeds from her writing to contribute to charitable causes including the temperance movement, peace societies, Greek war relief, and the work of missionaries at home and abroad. In Traits of the Aborigines of America (1822) she turned Indian tales into blank verse urging conversion of Native Americans to Christianity. When her husband's business began to fail, she sold poems and sketches to magazines. After the success of Letters to Young Ladies (1833), her most popular prose work, she abandoned anonymity despite her husband's objections. Within a year she had published eight other volumes including Poems (1834), a collection of her verse that was reprinted three times. Her popularity was so great that rival publishers competed for her work. Death and piety were her favorite subjects; her rhyming of pious truisms had a wide appeal. Lydia went abroad in 1840 where she was received by Wordsworth, had tea with Carlyle and was presented at the court of Louis Philippe. Between 1840 and 1850 Mrs. Sigourney published fourteen collections of her poetry.

    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to U.S. Women's History U.S. literature is unimaginable without the contributions of women writers. Though often critically neglected, their work has been strong, original, and diverse. Some of the sources of this literature are this country's various indigenous cultures, in many of which both women and men were storytellers. Women also had powerful roles in Native myths, legends, songs, chants, and sacred rituals. Settlement of the Americas by Europeans (English, Spanish, French, Dutch) both subordinated these cultures and provided new literary sources. Colonial literature drew from European traditions and models. Colonial women writers—largely from the more affluent and educated families—explored religious, moral, historical, social, and domestic questions in a variety of genres: poetry, meditations, travel writing and journals, captivity narratives, plays, letters, and autobiography. Anne Hutchinson (1591-1643) was known for her charismatic oratory, religious doctrines, and "ready wit and bold spirit." She was too bold, for the Puritans banished her for heresy from newly settled Boston in 1637. Anne Dudley Bradstreet (1612-72), the daughter and wife of Puritan leaders in the Massachusetts colony, was the first poet published in the British colonies. She was self-conscious about the audacity of a woman taking up the pen, declaring in the prologue to her The Tenth Muse, Lately Sprung Up in America

    Extractions: [Although Lydia Sigourney is obviously an American author, and the Victorian Web concentrates on nineteenth-century British culture and history, she appears here for several reasons: She represents an important part of the long-forgotten Anglo-American tradition of women's writing, her works resonate with works of writers like Christina Rossetti and may have influenced them, and her work is so little known one is unlikely to encounter many mentions of it elsewhere. GPL Lydia Howard Huntley was born in Norwich, Connecticut on September 1, 1791 to Ezekiel Huntley and Zerviah Wentworth . Their only child, she was named after her father's first wife, Lydia Howard, a woman he had married soon after participating in the Revolutionary war. Lydia Howard died soon after her marriage to Ezekiel, and he later married Zerviah. Lydia had many fond memories of her father and mother whom she esteemed a great deal. When she began to be successful as an author, she determined to take care of them, refraining from marriage. In her words: "I had . . . reason for avoiding serious advances. My mind was made up never to leave my parents. I felt that their absorbing love could never be repaid be the longest life-service, and that the responsibility of an only child, their sole prop and solace, would be strictly regarded by Him who readeth the heart. I had seen aged people surrounded by indifferent persons, who considered their care a burden, and could not endure the thought that my tender parents, who were without near relatives, should be thrown upon the fluctuating kindness of hirelings and strangers. To me, my father already seemed aged, though scarcely sixty; and I said, in my musing hours, Shall he, who never denied me aught, or spoke to me otherwise than in love-tones, stretch forth his hands in their weakness, "and find none to gird him"? (241).

    Extractions: Died:  Hartford; June 10, 1865 Entry by James P. Walsh The nineteenth century had an insatiable appetite for mawkish poetry, and this appetite was catered to in Connecticut by Lydia Sigourney, the "Sweet Singer of Hartford." The Romantic period was intoxicated with the power of verse, and even the best poets, like Shelley or Wordsworth, often approached the edge of bathos. Lesser poets, like Mrs. Sigourney, knew no limits. She was born Lydia Huntley, the only child of a handyman for a wealthy widow in Norwich. Her father's employer took a liking to young Lydia and treated her much like a daughter. It was through this connection that she became a frequent guest of the Wadsworth family in Hartford, and the Wadsworths did much to further her literary career. In 1815, Lydia Huntley published her first collection of poems, entitled Moral Pieces . The following lines, describing the Flood, were considered especially good:

    Extractions: RETURN TO HOME PAGE The Sigourneys are of French Huguenot descent, had a life of interesting contrasts and startling contradictions. She was one of America's most popular authors in the 19th century. She married to ensure financial security for herself and her parents. After her marriage, it was the income from her writing that provided the bulk of the farnily's support. She wrote annual gift books and collections of inspirational prose and poetry at the rate of one every eight months for almost 50 years. Today her work is almost unknown, however in the mid-19th century she was more prestigious than Edgar Allen Poe. Lydia Sigourney was born in 1791 in Norwich, Connecticut, the only child of Zerviah and Ezekial Huntley. She grew up in privileged surroundings. At 28 she married Charles Sigourney, a wealthy widower with three children. Publishers at this time were "hungery" for novels and shorter pieces that were commercially marketable to the vast numbers of women at home. Poetry was popular, particularly when it would appeal to women. Lydia Sigourney was so successful that she became a household name. She died on June 10, 1865, twenty one years after being selected by an Iowa doctor as the name of a small community located in the centre of Keokuk County, Iowa, USA.
