Dr Lonsdale's scholarship has uncovered a rich seam in our poetic inheritance'Andrew Swarbrick, Oxford Times'He has unearthed a rich array of neglected talent ... The volume as a whole affords more insight into the lives of eighteenth-century women than any number of historical surveys and Dr Lonsdale's scholarship has uncovered a rich seam in our poetic inheritance.'Andrew Swarbrick, Oxford Times'Lonsdale refrains from evaluative commentary, and uses his introduction instead to offer a highly informative and lucid account of the historical background to the poems. This, combined with his admirable biographical headnotes, and the additionally instructive endnotes, provides a substantial context in which to read the poems. That so much research and scholarship is presented so modestly is a further tribute to Lonsdale's achievement. He has hereproduced another major anthology.'Paul Clayton, Hertford College, Oxford, Notes & Queries,Vol.235, No.4, December 1990'This year I discovered Roger Lonsdale's collection ... which I read with fascination and increasing joy'Times Educational Supplement (1992)

Synopsis
Who were the women poets of the eighteenth century? More than a hundred are represented in this anthology, yet only few have hitherto featured in conventional surveys and anthologies of eighteenth-century verse. Unlike the women who wrote fiction, the vast majority of those who wrote verse have been ignored and forgotten since their own day. Yet they speak with vigour and immediacy, in a range of moods from the resentful and melancholic to the humorous and exuberant; about the world they lived in and their experience of life in town and country, of love and marriage. Nor were they all from one social class: as the biographical headnotes reveal, women at all levels of society, washerwomen and duchesses, both wrote and found their way into print. Usually most at ease writing in informal and unpretentious verse, the women poets grew in confidence during the century, writing eventually in a great variety of poetic forms and on public as well as private topics. The writers in this wide-ranging and unpredictable anthology open a new perspective on their age, and provide the grounds for a reassessment of a neglected aspect of its literature.Roger Lonsdale edited the New Oxford Book of Eighteenth-Century Verse., In the first decade of the eighteenth century, only two women published collections of verse. By the 1790s, more than thirty had done so. Yet, in the two intervening centuries, most of that verse has disappeared from view--now either ignored or forgotten. This delightful anthology takes us back to Augustan England, introducing over one hundred of these lost poets from Lady Mary Chudleigh and Octavia Walsh to Mary Locke and Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. Their poetry speaks with vigor and immediacy, in a range of moods from the resentful and melancholic to the humorous and exuberant, as they unveil their individual worlds to us. They came from all levels of society--including washerwomen and duchesses--and from both the town and country. The volume reveals that as eighteenth-century women poets gained confidence, their writing eventually spanned a variety of poetic forms and encompassed both public and private topics. Eighteenth-Century Women Poets offers a compelling reassessment of a neglected aspect of eighteenth-century literature., More than a hundred women poets of the eighteenth century are represented in this anthology. Written by duchesses, ladies, and working women, the poems speak with vigour and immediacy of the world they lived in and their experiences of town and country, love and marriage, public and private topics. In a range of moods from melancholic and resentful to the humorous and exuberant, the poets open a new perspective on their age, and provide grounds for a reassessment of a neglected aspect of its literature., Who were the women poets of the eighteenth century?
