Sallie Bridges

Sarah Bridges Stebbins, a Philadelphian better known under the pen name Sallie Bridges[1] (1830-1910), was an American poet, best known today for her adaptations of Arthurian legend.[2]

Writing career

Bridges's Marble Isle (1864)[3] is a collection of poetic adaptations from Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. According to Daniel Helbert, she is the first American writer "to truly adapt and interpret Malory's text as a comprehensive literary enterprise".[1]

Annals of a Baby, first published anonymously and in 1878 and republished, with the author's full name, in 1882, is a humorous look at motherhood and family life; it tells of the birth and growth of a nameless baby in a world of stock characters--the Young Mother, the Young Aunties, the Fat Nurse, etc. The book was published in the "Helen's Babies" series.[4]
