From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caroline Anne Southey (born Caroline Anne Bowles) (1786 – 1854), was an English poet. The daughter of a navy captain, Southey submitted a poem, "Ellen Fitzarthur", to Robert Southey, which led to a friendship, and to a proposed joint poem on Robin Hood, not, however, carried out, and eventually to her becoming the poet's second wife. She wrote various other works, including Chapters on Churchyards and Tales of the Factories.
