Mistress of the Blue Castle: The Writing Life of Phebe Florence Miller

"A landmark book, Mistress of the Blue Castle seeks to illuminate the life and writing of a hitherto little-studied poet. The work is a significant contribution to the study of Newfoundland culture."

Mary Dalton, author of Edge and Merrybegot, Mary Dalton, author of Edge and Merrybegot

"Hallett sieves through all the balladry, salutations, even Miller’s headstone, to sculpt an image of Miller, contextualized by the exchanges with those around her, as well as the momentous events – women’s suffrage, two world wars, Confederation – occurring in her time."
