From the Wikipedia article

Caroline Wigley Clive (née Meysey-Wigley; 24 June 1801 – 13 July 1873) was an English writer known by the pseudonym V. She was known chiefly as the author of IX Poems that when first published, took their place in the forefront of then-contemporary feminine verse. Clive wrote all her life, was a brilliant conversationalist, was held in the highest regard within an exceptionally notable intellectual circle, and carried on a large correspondence.
