Publisher's Synopsis

Letters of Celia Thaxter is a collection of personal letters written by Celia Thaxter, an American writer and poet, to her friends and family. The book offers a unique insight into Thaxter's life and the times in which she lived, spanning from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. Thaxter's letters are filled with vivid descriptions of her daily life, her travels, and her interactions with other writers and artists of her time, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and John Greenleaf Whittier. Through her letters, Thaxter also reveals her thoughts and feelings about her own writing, her struggles with illness, and her deep love for her family and her home on the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the life of a talented and influential writer, as well as a valuable historical document of a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
