Mary Anne Jevons

Mary Anne Jevons came from a literary family and was encouraged to write from an early age. Having begun by editing a collection of her family's poetry, she went on during the early and mid nineteenth century to publish volumes of poetry on her own (largely religious), as well as verse in annuals. She edited one of these, The Sacred Offering.
