About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Ophelia, the Rose of Elsinore, by Mary Cowden Clarke. Read by Elizabeth Klett. This story is from Mary Cowden Clarke's multi-volume work The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines, in which she imagined the early lives of characters from Portia to Beatrice to Lady Macbeth. In her revision of Ophelia from Hamlet, she creates a backstory for Shakespeare's tragic heroine, from her infancy to just before the action of Hamlet begins.(Summary by Elizabeth Klett)
