en-wikipedia-org-323		Anna Seward - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	5253	933	75	Anna Seward[3] (12 December 1742[4][notes 1] – 25 March 1809) was an 18th–19th-century English Romantic poet, often called the Swan of Lichfield. The family home in the Bishop's Palace became the centre of a literary circle that included Erasmus Darwin, Samuel Johnson and James Boswell, in which Anna was encouraged to join, as she later relates.[notes 4][14][11] Canon Seward's (if not his wife's) attitudes to educating girls was progressive for the time, but not excessively so. Scott's editing shows considerable censorship[40] and he declined to edit the bulk of her letters, which later appeared in six volumes from Archibald Constable as Letters of Anna Seward 1784–1807 (1811).[25][31] Her reputation barely outlived her, but interest has revived in the 21st century, after some dismissive views among early 20th-century critics.[41] Later, feminist scholars in particular have seen Seward as a valuable observer of gendered relationships in late 18th-century society, playing a transitional role in its principles and emerging romanticism.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-323.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-323.txt
