<B>Rose Hartwick Thorpe Archive</B></I> including an Autograph Manuscript Signed, a fair copy, of "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight." Thorpe (1850-1939) was born in Mishawaka, Indiana. Growing up, she read and adored the poetry and fiction of the day, especially Longfellow. In the late 1860s, she wrote a long romantic, narrative poem that became a popular success and has been read and studied by students and reprinted hundreds of times in the years since. "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight" tells the story of a young lady who saves the life of her lover from execution by winning a pardon by her personal plea to Sir Oliver Cromwell. Unfortunately for her, she did not obtain copyright and therefore received little financial return from its huge success. Thorpe worked as a writer and editor for many years and after the death of her husband in 1916, was active in the suffrage movement near her California home.
