| Popis: | The Shetland writer Dorothea Primrose Campbell (1793–1863) is primarily known as the author of two volumes of poetry and the novel Harley Radington (1821). Recently discovered evidence, however, shows that she was a member of the small but active literary circle of the Ladies' Monthly Museum from 1813 through 1821, adopting a pseudonym under which she published 58 poems and tales, many of which were uncollected and previously unknown. Creating the persona of Ora from Thule, Campbell carried on a verse correspondence with several of the regular contributors to the Monthly Museum, as well as writing other poems and stories set in Zetland. There is also new evidence regarding the contributors, editors and publishers associated with the Monthly Museum and their role in the production, editing and championing of Campbell's 1816 Poems. |
