Julia Caroline Dorr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julia Caroline (Ripley) Dorr (1825-1913) was an American author who published both prose and poetry. She was born at Charleston, S. C., but removed early to New York, then to Rutland, Vt., where she married Hon. Seneca R. Dorr. Her earliest published writings appeared in 1848. She wrote:

  • Isabel Leslie (1848)
  • Farmingdale (1854)
  • Lanmere (1856)
  • Sybil Huntingdon (1869)
  • Expiation (1872)
  • Bermuda (1884)
  • The Flower of England's Face (1895)
  • A Cathedral Pilgrimage (1896)
  • In King's Houses (1898)

Mrs. Dorr is best known, however, for volumes of thoughtful verse. A collected edition of her poems appeared in 1892.

  • Poems (1871)
  • Friar Anselm and Other Poems (1879)
  • Daybreak: An Easter Poem (1872)
  • Afternoon Songs (1885)
  • Afterglow (1900)
  • Beyond the Sunset (1909)
  • Last Poems (1913)
