Editing Grace Darling (section)

==Legacy==
Darling's achievement was celebrated in her lifetime; she received a large financial reward in addition to the plaudits of the nation. A number of fictionalised depictions propagated the Grace Darling legend, such as ''Grace Darling, or the Maid of the Isles'' by Jerrold Vernon (1839), which gave birth to the legend of "the girl with windswept hair". Her deed was committed to verse by [[William Wordsworth]] in his poem "Grace Darling" (1843). In 1882 a four-act drama, ''Humanity, or a Passage in the Life of Grace Darling'', premiered at the Theatre Royal, [[Leicester]]<ref>{{Cite book |last=Clarence |first=Reginald |title="The Stage" Cyclopaedia |publisher=Burt Franklin |year=1909 |location=New York |pages=207}}</ref> and immediately transferred to the vast Standard Theatre in London's [[Shoreditch]].  The play by Leonard Rae and Hugh Marston included a realistic representation of the sea rescue.<ref>Theatre programme: "Humanity", Standard Theatre London 17 April 1882.
