After Maine became a state in 1820, she changed her pen name to "A Lady of Maine". To her readers, however, she was better known as Madame Wood.[3] During Keating's extended period of widowhood she wrote four novels and gained popularity in New England.[3] LifeWood was born in York, Maine, the first daughter of Sarah Sayward Barrell and the British army officer Nathaniel Barrell, but was heavily influenced by her wealthy grandfather, Judge Jonathan Sayward.[1] On October 23, 1778 she was married to Richard Keating, who died of a fever five years later.[1] The couple had two daughters and a son. Later she married General Abiel Wood.[4] He died in 1811, and Wood thereafter moved to Portland, Maine.[5] CareerWood's published works include: Julia and the Illuminated Baron (1800); Dorval; or The Speculator (1801); Amelia; or The Influence of Virtue (1802); Ferdinand and Elmira: A Russian Story (1804); and Tales of the Night (1827). A facsimile edition of Tales of the Night was published in 1982 as part of the sesquicentennial observances of Westbrook College. Wood's writing career falls into two distinct phases, both of which occurred during her periods of widowhood. This curious fact, and the prefaces to her books, suggest a certain ambivalence about female authorship. Her books were published anonymously, and she makes it perfectly clear that her womanly duties were never neglected.[2] The books are now rare items, but there is a complete set in the Maine State Library at Augusta. She also wrote in letters some "recollections" of her youth and family traditions, as well as a short narrative, probably based thereon, that was never published. The manuscript of this work, War the Parent of Domestic Calamity: A Tale of the Revolution, is at the Library of the Maine Historical Society in Portland. Other letters are extant in family attics, and a poem is in the Old Gaol Museum in York.[6] Wood, desiring anonymity, wrote and published under pseudonyms. On the title pages of her first four books, she was identified as either "A Lady" or "A Lady from Massachusetts." Since her last book was published after Maine became a state in 1820, she was identified as "A Lady from Maine" on its title page. [7] Bibliography
