Abstract
Abstract: Anna Seward commended Mary Tighe's 1795 sonnet for the Ladies of Llangollen shortly before she composed her own poem for Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, "Llangollen Vale" (1796). When Tighe revised her "Addressed to the Ladies of Langollen Vale" for her 1805 collection Verses, she positioned it within a sonnet sequence that critiques Seward's poem and Seward's sonnet theories. Tighe's critique highlights the different aesthetic values she and Seward espoused as private and public poets.
