Notes

Gary Kelly suggests she might have translated Foscolo's Ortis. Her maiden name was Felicia Browne (F.B.) and the translation is dated 1811, a year before she married Alfred Hemans.

See 'Introduction' to Felicia Hemans, Selected Poems, Prose, and Letters, ed. Gary Kelly (Peterborough: Broadview, 2002), p. 21.
