Thread Name: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems (PermaThread)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems
The collection of C. Fox Smith poems on the Oldpoetry website has just hit 400. The most recent additions are from one of her earliest publications, 1899. Many of these early poems are "militantly" pro-British or pro-imperialistic. She was quite offended at the socialists such as the Pankhursts that she attended school with in Manchester, as she noted later in her book All The Way Round: Sea Roads to Africa [p:1938.

Here's the link again to her collection on the Oldpoetry website: Click here for website

We still need help finding copies of three of her earliest poetry books:

Songs Of Greater Britain [p:1899
The Foremost Trail [p:1899
Wings Of The Morning [p:1904

We know there are library copies in the UK but what we really need is for someone there to photocopy the poems and mail them to myself or to Jim Saville
