"These letters, ably edited and supplemented by a life-long friend, make a very satisfactory
biography of the famous sculptor, who was also a fascinating woman. Since
most of her life was spent in Rome, they give another interesting view of the notable
group of English and Americans who have figured in so many recent biographies and
letters. There are several letters from the Brownings, whom Miss Hosmer counted among
the earliest and closest of her many friends. A greater part of the letters were written
to Mr Wayman Crow, of St. Louis, to whom she owed her excellent beginning in her art.
Illustrations include reproductions of her work, portraits, etc." A. L. A. booklist, 1012.
