Leather-bound book titled ‘The Works of Mrs Hemans; with a Memoir of Her Life, By Her Sister’ Volume VII, published by William Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh, and Thomas Cadell, London

This is Volume VII from a seven-volume set of the complete works of Felicia Hemans (1793–1835), one of the most popular and widely-read poets of the early 19th century. Published in 1839, this edition includes her collected poetry along with a biographical memoir written by her sister. Hemans was celebrated for her lyrical verse on themes of domesticity, patriotism, and nature, and her work remained influential throughout the Victorian era.

This edition appeals to collectors of 19th-century literature, poetry enthusiasts, and those interested in women’s literary history. The leather binding and multi-volume format reflect the prestige accorded to Hemans during her lifetime and posthumously. Such sets are valued for their historical significance, the quality of their bindings, and their representation of Victorian publishing standards.
