Charlotte Smith, Volume II of Elegiac Sonnets. In response to critics such as Anna Seward who called her sonnets "a perpetual dun on pity," she responds in her Preface, "I am unhappily exemt from the suspicion of feigning sorrow," placing responsibility for her sorrows on those causing it -- the lawyers depriving her children of finances adequate to their needs.
