About This Item
London: Longmans & Green, 1890. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. New Edition. Includes a few poems not previously published. Published posthumously and inscribed by the editor, Alice Greathed, who was the poet's daughter to Mrs. William Herbert. English poet Mrs. Archer Clive or Caroline Clive (1801 - 1873) suffered from a childhood illness, which impaired her mobility. She published several books of poetry and novels anonymously under the letter "V." Her best work is still considered to be IX Poems, which is included in this book. Her novels were sensational mysteries comparable to the work of contemporary Wilkie Collins. This collection includes a poem "Beaten To Death" about the murder of 15 year old Reginald Cancellor at the hands of his teacher (in 1860).
