Literary Works
Anne wrote many different literary works throughout her lifetime, consisting of letters, poems, and journal entries. She wrote of accounts of her life and that of the earl, her husband. Lady Anne’s writing was a “compilation of reminiscences, some of which represent her attempts to recall early stages in her life, while others record the day-to-day life in her household, when she practiced a disciplined and practical piety. Events are overlaid with the emotions that remained with the countess, as in the account ‘Of the Queen’s hatred towards her’”.
There is also evidence of poetry that was written by Anne about her imprisoned and deceased husband. They express the sorrow and “submission” of her husband, for whom she refers to as “my sonne.” There is also evidence of writing about Anne’s grandmother that raised her. All of her poetry was published under her own name.

Famous quotes related to literary works:
“There is a difference between dramatizing your sensibility and your personality. The literary works which we think of as classics did the former. Much modern writing does the latter, and so has an affinity with, say, night-club acts in all their shoddy immediacy.”
—Paul Horgan (b. 1904)
