EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the resilient spirit of Janet Hamilton, a Scottish poet who defied the odds and continued to write despite facing significant adversity. Born as Janet Thomson in 1795, she taught herself to read at the tender age of five, demonstrating an insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge from an early age. However, her life took an unexpected turn when she lost her sight in 1866, at the age of 71. Despite this setback, Hamilton persevered and learned to write by touch, an incredible feat considering she had birthed ten children before losing her sight. Her poetry, which often explored themes of faith, nature, and the human condition, was published in various Scottish newspapers and magazines. Hamilton's determination to continue writing despite her blindness is a testament to her unwavering passion for the written word and her indomitable spirit. This photograph, taken likely in the late 1800s, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of the human will to overcome adversity and create art in the face of adversity. Janet Hamilton's legacy as a self-taught, blind poet continues to inspire generations, and her work remains a cherished part of Scottish literary history.
