Mary Russel Mitford was an English dramatist and poet who was born December 16, 1787 and died January 10, 1855. Some of her most notable works include Christina, the Maid of the South Seas (1811), Watlington Hill (1812), Foscari: A Tragedy (1826), and Dramatic Scenes, Sonnets, and Other Poems (1827).
For the Digital Mitford Project, students Nathan Hammer, Hadleigh Jae Bills, and Josiah Ruiz analyzed Mitford's journal entries through handwriting analysis, transcription, and TEI tagging.
