Formerly a poet and librettist, Hatton turned novelist, publishing at least fourteen novels in the later part of her life under the name Ann of Swansea. These popular works, which range from historical fiction to modern satire to novels of nation and manners, are now being reappraised. A younger sister to the renowned actors Sarah Siddons and John Kemble, Hatton's precarious existence gifted her a sharp perspective on contemporary life – one that embraced and critiqued Wales in equal measure. There is a Swansea Blue Plaque dedicated to Ann.lihat lebih sedikit
