The Collected Poems and Journals of Mary Tighe
Mary Blachford Tighe was born in Dublin in 1772 and became a poet by the age of seventeen. Her enormously popular 1805 epic poem Psyche; or, The Legend of Love made her a fixture of English literary history for much of the nineteenth century. In more recent years, however, Tighe’s fame has lain not with the considerable merits of her own work but rather with her early influence on Keats’s poetry.

By uncovering the language's past, one can better communicate with it.
