Extractions: Died: Hartford; June 10, 1865 Entry by James P. Walsh The nineteenth century had an insatiable appetite for mawkish poetry, and this appetite was catered to in Connecticut by Lydia Sigourney, the "Sweet Singer of Hartford." The Romantic period was intoxicated with the power of verse, and even the best poets, like Shelley or Wordsworth, often approached the edge of bathos. Lesser poets, like Mrs. Sigourney, knew no limits. She was born Lydia Huntley, the only child of a handyman for a wealthy widow in Norwich. Her father's employer took a liking to young Lydia and treated her much like a daughter. It was through this connection that she became a frequent guest of the Wadsworth family in Hartford, and the Wadsworths did much to further her literary career. In 1815, Lydia Huntley published her first collection of poems, entitled Moral Pieces . The following lines, describing the Flood, were considered especially good:

Extractions: When Lafayette, the French hero of the American Revolutionary War, visited the United States in the 1820s, a procession of schoolchildren with wreaths proclaiming NOUS AIMONS LA FAYETTE greeted him in the city of Hartford, Connecticut. The phrase was the refrain of a poem in his honor by Lydia Howard Huntley Sigourney. This event characterizes Sigourneys position as a writer. Her poetry, like her prose, was about public subjectshistory, slavery, missionary work, as well as current eventsor treated personal matters, especially loss and death, as experiences common to all. In contrast to a Dickinson or an Emerson, she wrote for popular consumption, her work expressed a communal ethic based on compassionate Christianity and on conservative republicanism. Sigourney was enormously popular. In 1848 the respected publishers Cary and Hart issued her selected poems in their series of works by American poets, the preceding volumes having been devoted to three highly regarded male writers, Bryant, Longfellow, and N. P. Willis. She was also enormously productive: at her death in 1865 she had published over fifty books. Their range attests to the variety of forms in which antebellum writers could undertake to guide the public. She wrote communitarian narratives, educational volumes, advice manuals, travel literature, temperance pieces, meditative prose, and exemplary memoirs as well as a vast and varied quantity of poetry.

Extractions: [Although Lydia Sigourney is obviously an American author, and the Victorian Web concentrates on nineteenth-century British culture and history, she appears here for several reasons: She represents an important part of the long-forgotten Anglo-American tradition of women's writing, her works resonate with works of writers like Christina Rossetti and may have influenced them, and her work is so little known one is unlikely to encounter many mentions of it elsewhere. GPL Lydia Howard Huntley was born in Norwich, Connecticut on September 1, 1791 to Ezekiel Huntley and Zerviah Wentworth . Their only child, she was named after her father's first wife, Lydia Howard, a woman he had married soon after participating in the Revolutionary war. Lydia Howard died soon after her marriage to Ezekiel, and he later married Zerviah. Lydia had many fond memories of her father and mother whom she esteemed a great deal. When she began to be successful as an author, she determined to take care of them, refraining from marriage. In her words: "I had . . . reason for avoiding serious advances. My mind was made up never to leave my parents. I felt that their absorbing love could never be repaid be the longest life-service, and that the responsibility of an only child, their sole prop and solace, would be strictly regarded by Him who readeth the heart. I had seen aged people surrounded by indifferent persons, who considered their care a burden, and could not endure the thought that my tender parents, who were without near relatives, should be thrown upon the fluctuating kindness of hirelings and strangers. To me, my father already seemed aged, though scarcely sixty; and I said, in my musing hours, Shall he, who never denied me aught, or spoke to me otherwise than in love-tones, stretch forth his hands in their weakness, "and find none to gird him"? (241).

Extractions: Lydia Howard Huntley Sigourney Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; neg. no. LC BH82 5220 (1791-1865), poet Born in Norwich, Connecticut, on September 1, 1791, Lydia Huntley worked as a schoolteacher and published her first work, Moral Pieces in Prose and Verse, in 1815, in part for the use of her pupils. After her marriage in 1819 to Charles Sigourney, a merchant, she devoted her life to writing. She wrote some 67 books and more than a thousand articles during her career; many were widely read in Europe as well as in the United States. Such editors as Louis Godey of the Lady's Book (later Godey's Lady's Book ) and Edgar Allan Poe of Graham's Magazine vied for contributions from "the sweet singer of Hartford." Sigourney's writing relied on sentimental conventions of moral and religious themes; death and piety were her most popular subjects. Her best-known prose work was Letters to Young Ladies (1833); her Illustrated Poems (1849) was published in a series that included the poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. She died in Hartford, Connecticut, on June 10, 1865. Her autobiography, Letters of Life

Extractions: LYDIA HUNTLEY SIGOURNEY: Another Look Early Life Lydia Huntley Sigourney was born in 1791 in Norwich, Connecticut, the only child of Zerviah (Sophia) and Ezekial Huntley. She grew up in privileged surroundings on the Daniel Lathrop estate, where her father was the custodian and gardener. Under the supervision of Daniel Lathrops widow, who was the daughter of the former governor of Connecticut, Lydia received an education that was both traditional and non-traditional for a young woman of her day. In addition to the usual instruction in needlework, painting, music, and penmanship, Lydia was also required to master weightier courses in composition, math, Greek, philosophy, and other subjects normally offered only to young men. Lydia formal education continued until Mrs. Lathrop died, when Lydia was 14. To recover from the loss of Mrs. Lathrop, Lydia was sent to live with relatives of the Lathrops in Hartford. There she was given access to an extensive library; she had frequent exposure to cultural events; and she learned how to run a noble household. She also devoted much of her time to writing prose, poetry, and prose meditations, which she patterned after traditional sermons. In 1811, at the age of 20, Lydia and a friend established a select school for ladies in Norwich, Connecticut. The following year, after moving the school to more spacious quarters in the business sector of Norwich, Lydia stepped far ahead of her historical period by holding free classes twice weekly for poor children, who, at that time, were generally not even permitted to attend school. In 1814, Lydia opened a select seminary for young ladies. Believing women to be the main source of moral strength in American households, she gave strong emphasis in her curriculum to Biblical and religious studies. In 1815 marked the publication of Lydias first work, Moral Pieces in Prose and Verse. With it, she launched a career that culminated in her becoming one of Americas most popular authors.

http://www.richardstevens3.com/cwhf/browse/sigourney.htm

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: Lydia Howard Huntley Sigourney (1791-1865) Contributing Editor: Sandra A. Zagarell Sigourney was a prolific and varied writer. I would draw attention to the adroitness with which her work exhibits the stylistic versatility of public verse. Among the forms her poems take are the ode, the nonsubjective lyric, elegy, and narrative and descriptive verse. She wrote in a variety of meters and verse patterns. Her poetry is situated in a sentimental tradition that contrasts with the Romantic one more familiar to, and more highly valued by, readers in the academy. The striking absence of the subjective consciousness of an organizing persona is a feature I would stress. As Annie Finch has observed, Sigourney's poetry gives religious, moral, and emotional truths what seems an independent or nonpersonal voice, or appears to represent nature or natural states without a mediating subjectivity. I also call attention to the wit Sigourney's poems can display: "To a Shred of Linen" elicits an earlier agrarian New England while reflecting wryly on continuing societal ambivalence about women's creativity in a sphere other than the domestic.

Main Street Iowa Home Opened for settlement in 1843, Sigourney, Iowa, was named after the distinguished poetess Lydia Huntley Sigourney. The town's Neoclassical courthouse, built in 1909, with the historic Lewis Memorial Fountain gracing its picturesque lawn serves as the central focal point of the community. Known as "The Fountain of Opportunity," Sigourney is undergoing a metamorphosis of sorts, both physically and mentally. Since Main Street Sigourney was founded in 1990 to assist with the revitalization of downtown, a majority of this southeast Iowa community's commercial and public buildings surrounding the courthouse have undergone exterior renovation projects of varying degrees. Nearly $1.5 million has been invested in interior and exterior improvement projects and over 25,000 volunteer hours contributed for the betterment of downtown since 1990. As a result, in 1997, Sigourney was named a finalist for the National Main Street Center's Great American Main Street Award, and ,in 1995, Sigourney was the first community to ever receive Main Street Iowa's Spirit of Main Street award.
