Mary, the Osier-Peeler

This electronic edition makes the text available for the first time in over 200 years from the single known copy in the world. As an electronic edition in Romantic Circles, the poem is machine-readable, enabling access not only to those without physical access, but also to those with sight disabilities in the spirit of its twentieth-century collector, Marguerite Hicks. The editor has replaced the long s (ſ) with its more familiar counterpart but retains Morgan’s idiosyncratic orthography. To differentiate between Morgan’s original footnotes and those the editor has added for context or clarity, each note is prefaced with Author’s note or Editor’s note, as appropriate.
