   Extractions: The "Sweet Singer of Hartford" for whom Sigourney Street was named, one of the first American women to succeed at a literary career. A teacher, born in Norwich, Lydia Huntley moved to Hartford at the invitation of Daniel Wadsworth to open a school for the daughters of his friends. With her marriage to Charles Sigourney in 1819 came financial stability, allowing her to give up teaching and devote herself full time to writing and publishing anonymously. Lydia used proceeds from her writing to contribute to charitable causes including the temperance movement, peace societies, Greek war relief, and the work of missionaries at home and abroad. In Traits of the Aborigines of America (1822) she turned Indian tales into blank verse urging conversion of Native Americans to Christianity. When her husband's business began to fail, she sold poems and sketches to magazines. After the success of Letters to Young Ladies (1833), her most popular prose work, she abandoned anonymity despite her husband's objections. Within a year she had published eight other volumes including Poems (1834), a collection of her verse that was reprinted three times. Her popularity was so great that rival publishers competed for her work. Death and piety were her favorite subjects; her rhyming of pious truisms had a wide appeal. Lydia went abroad in 1840 where she was received by Wordsworth, had tea with Carlyle and was presented at the court of Louis Philippe. Between 1840 and 1850 Mrs. Sigourney published fourteen collections of her poetry. Her celebrity reached its height with the 1849 publication of her

   Extractions: Background note: Lydia Howard (Huntley) Sigourney, the "Sweet Singer of Hartford" was a major figure in the rise of feminized, sentimental fiction in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Born in Norwich, Conn., as the only child of Ezekiel and Zerviah Huntley, Sigourney was educated in the common schools of Norwich and Hartford, and from 1811-1813, conducted a school in Norwich. By 1814, Sigourney was considered successful enough as an educator to establish a school of her own in Hartford, and the following year she followed up this triumph with the publication of her first book, Moral pieces, in prose and verse In June, 1819, Lydia married Charles Sigourney, a widower with three children. Contrary to Lydia's expectations, Charles' finances were not very solid, and as a result, she turned to writing to supplement the family income. Her first efforts were published anonymously because of the objections of her husband, but as her reputation began to grow, she began to show increasing confidence in her abilities and autonomy. By the early 1830s, Sigourney was a regular and highly sought after contributor to periodicals, eventually editing her own annual, the Religious Souvenir . Although she took a dim view of the average quality of American literary outlets, her popularity eventually grew so great that Louis Godey, among other magazine publishers, was willing to pay her simply to include her name on his magazine's list of editors. A highly prolific writer, Sigourney helped to shape literary tastes in early Victorian America, spawning numerous imitators. Her writing is steeped in a prim religious moralism, with a clear fascination for death, and tends to be overtly didactic, as exemplified by works such as

    Extractions: From Evert A. Duyckinck, Cyclopaedia of American Literature , (New York: C. Scribner, 1856): LYDIA H. SIGOURNEY. Lydia Huntley, the daughter and only child of Ezekiel Huntley and Sophia Wentworth, was born at Norwich, Conn., September 1, 1791. Her father, who bore a part in the war of the Revolution, was a man of worth and benevolence. His wife possessed those well balanced, unobtrusive virtues of character which marked the New England lady of the olden time. Among the happiest influences attending the childhood of their daughter, was the cultivated society of Madam Lathrop, the widow of Dr. Daniel Lathrop, and the daughter of the Hon. John Talcott, of Hartford, who held for a succession of years the office of Governor of Connecticut. Mr. Huntley, having charge of her estate, resided with his separate family under her roof, and in that fine old mansion their child was born. Her precocity was exhibited in reading fluently at the age of three, and composing simple verses at seven, smooth in rhythm, and of an invariable religious sentiment. As she grew older, she profited by the society of the distinguished visitors who sought the hospitable home; and received in addition every advantage of education which could then be obtained. When Miss Huntley was fourteen, she had the misfortune to lose her venerable friend, who died at the ripe age of eighty-nine. She continued her studies until her nineteenth year, when she put into execution a plan she had long contemplated, of engaging in the work of instruction. Associating herself with her most intimate friend, Miss Ann Maria Hyde, who sympathized warmly in her scheme, a school was opened for young ladies, and conducted with great success for two years.
