Graham R.: Rosamund Marriot Watson, Woman of Letters

Rosamund Marriott Watson (1860-1911), who ultimately wrote as Graham R., published in major periodicals in England, but a scandalous second divorce harmed her reputation, and she lapsed from critical memory. Linda K. Hughes unfolds a complex life in Graham R: Rosamund Marriott Watson, Woman of Letters, tracing the poet’s development from accomplished ballads and sonnets, to avant garde urban impressionism and New Woman poetry, to her anticipation of literary Modernism.
