Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SEWARD, ANNA (1747-1809) ,
English
  writer, often called the "
Swan
  of Lichfield," was the elder daughter of
Thomas
  Seward (1708-1790), prebendary of Lichfield and of
Salisbury
 , and author. Born at Eyam in
Derbyshire
 , she passed nearly all her
life
  in Lichfield, beginning at an early age to write poetry partly at the instigation of Dr.
Erasmus
  Darwin. Her verses include elegies and sonnets, and she also wrote a poetical novel, Louisa, of which five editions were published. Miss Seward's writings, which include a large number of letters, are decidedly commonplace, and
Horace
  Walpole said she had " no imagina-
tion, no novelty."
Sir Walter Scott edited her Poetical Works in three volumes (Edinburgh, 181o); to these he prefixed a memoir of the authoress, adding extracts from her literary correspondence. He refused, however, to edit the bulk of her letters, and these were published in six volumes by A. Constable as Letters of Anna Seward 1784-1807 (Edinburgh, 1811). Miss Seward also wrote Memoirs of the
Life
  of Dr Darwin (1804). See E. V. Lucas, A
Swan
  and her Friends (1907); and S. Martin, Anna Seward and Classic Lichfield (19o9).
