Jane T. Worthington (1821–1847) was a 19th-century essayist, poet, musician, and linguist[1] of Southern United States literature.
[5] She was educated in different parts of the country, as the exigencies of the military service led to changes of residence by her father.
Her extensive traveling instilled in her an appreciation for nature and while this gave her exposure to various parts of society, her love of Virginia never faltered.
Nearly all her writings, in prose and verse, appeared in the Southern Literary Messenger, which was edited by a personal friend, at Richmond, Virginia.
[13] She wrote with dedicated poise, full of feminine emotion and brilliance, highlighting the beauties of nature and domestic life.
