An American dramatist; born near Baltimore, Md., April 1824; died in London, Nov. 24, 1880. While a schoolgirl she translated the "Aeneid" into English verse; wrote "Forsaken"; and published "Records of the Heart" (1844), and "Hebemah. or the Fall of Montezuma" (1864). Her best dramatic work, "Sappho of Lesbos", a tragedy, ran through seven editions, and was translated into modern Greek and played at Athens. Edgar A. Poe spoke of her as the rival of Sappho; Lamartine called her the "female Petrarch".
