Mary Ann H. T. (Mary Ann Hubbard Townsend) Bigelow

Born on April 20, 1792, Mary Ann Hubbard Townsend Bigelow was an American poet. She is commonly listed as Mary Ann H. T. Bigelow, and modern public-domain and library records connect that name with the full form Mary Ann Hubbard Townsend Bigelow.

She is best known for The Kings and Queens of England, with Other Poems, published in Boston in 1853. The book mixes long historical poems about English monarchs with shorter lyric and occasional pieces, showing both an interest in history and a taste for the moral and domestic themes popular in 19th-century verse.

Bigelow died on March 27, 1870. While she is not widely read today, her surviving work remains part of the record of early American poetry and is still preserved through library and public-domain archives.
