Williams (Helena Maria). Recueil de Poésies... Traduites de l’Anglais par M. Stanislas de Boufflers... et par M. Esménard, Paris, 1808, half-title, scattered light foxing, marbled endpapers, t.e.g., remainder untrimmed, contemp. half morocco gilt, rubbed and scuffed, 8vo. Scarce. Inscribed by the author on preliminary blank: ‘pour Madame Barbier de la part d’Helena Maria Williams’. Helen Maria Williams (1761-1827) was an English epistolary writer, poet, novelist, essayist, and translator. She moved to Paris in 1790, and is best known for her eyewitness accounts of the French Revolution. She was an early supporter of the Revolution, but her initial admiration for Napoleon quickly gave way to disillusionment, and she eventually favoured the restoration of the monarchy. Williams held a salon in Paris, hosting a wide variety of international liberals and radicals, among them Thomas Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft. Many of her friends were arrested and eventually executed, and in 1793, Williams, her mother, and her sister, were themselves imprisoned for a brief period. Williams received mixed reviews during her lifetime. In the 1780s Williams’ poetry appealed to the liberal sentiments of her countrymen; her list of admirers included the young William Wordsworth, who composed a sonnet about her in 1787, and Robert Burns, who praised her anti-slavery poem, whilst Williams’ only novel, ‘Julia’, was generously praised by Mary Wollstonecraft. Horace Walpole, however, called her a ‘scribbling trollop’, and she was featured in ‘The Unsexed Females’, the Reverend Richard Polwhele’s 1798 diatribe against radical women. (1)
