Mrs. (Felicia Dorothea Browne) Hemans (1793-1835) was born in Liverpool, England, and died in Dublin, Ireland. She married Captain Alfred Hemans, an Irish army officer, in 1812, and they had five sons before separating in 1818. An English poet of great popularity in the nineteenth century, Hemans created many notable works, including her 1826 poem "Casabianca" and her book, Records of Woman: With Other Poems (1828). Mary Baker Eddy quoted Hemans in many of her own works, including Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
