"_A volume as strongly marked by perfect taste as by poetic
power._"--NONCONFORMIST.
A WOMAN SOLD, AND OTHER POEMS. Crown 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._
"_Mrs. Webster has shown us that she is able to draw
admirably from the life; that she can observe with
subtlety, and render her observations with delicacy; that
she can impersonate complex conceptions and venture into
recesses of the ideal world into which few living writers
can follow her._"--GUARDIAN.
PORTRAITS. Second Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_Mrs. Webster's poems exhibit simplicity and tenderness
... her taste is perfect.... This simplicity is combined
with a subtlety of thought, feeling, and observation which
demand that attention which only real lovers of poetry are
apt to bestow._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
PROMETHEUS BOUND OF ÆSCHYLUS. Literally translated into
English Verse. Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_Closeness and simplicity combined with literary
skill._"--ATHENÆUM. "_Mrs. Webster's 'Dramatic
Studies' and 'Translation of Prometheus' have won for her
an honourable place among our female poets. She writes
with remarkable vigour and dramatic realization, and bids
fair to be the most successful claimant of Mrs. Browning's
mantle._"--BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.
MEDEA OF EURIPIDES. Literally translated into English
Verse. Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_Mrs. Webster's translation surpasses our utmost
expectations. It is a photograph of the original without
any of that harshness which so often accompanies a
photograph._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
THE AUSPICIOUS DAY. A Dramatic Poem. Extra fcap. 8vo. 5_s._
"_The 'Auspicious Day' shows a marked advance, not only in
art, but, in what is of far more importance, in breadth
of thought and intellectual grasp._"--WESTMINSTER
REVIEW. "_This drama is a manifestation of high
dramatic power on the part of the gifted writer, and
entitled to our warmest admiration, as a worthy piece of
work._"--STANDARD.
YU-PE-YA'S LUTE. A Chinese Tale in English Verse. Extra
fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_A very charming tale, charmingly told in
dainty verse, with occasional lyrics of tender
beauty._"--STANDARD. "_We close the book with the
renewed conviction that in Mrs. Webster we have a profound
and original poet. The book is marked not by mere sweetness
of melody--rare as that gift is--but by the infinitely
rarer gifts of dramatic power, of passion, and sympathetic
insight._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
A HOUSEWIFE'S OPINIONS. Crown 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._
