There are many anecdotes of biography and criticism, and many beautiful poetical portraits, scattered through a variety of works, and all tending to illustrate a subject in itself full of interest - the influence which the beauty and virtue of women have exercised over the characters and writings of men of genius.
Anna Jameson (1794-1860) was an inspirational figure to young nineteenth-century feminists. The publication of this three-volume book in 1838 secured her growing literary reputation. It records her impressions of the Great Lakes region, its weather, landscape, society and inhabitants, and includes literary reflections, particularly on the German Romantics.
