商品簡介
Egerton (1668-1723) launched her career in poetry at age 14 with "Female Advocate: or, An Answer to a Late Satyr Against the Pride, Lust and Inconstancy, &c. of Woman. Written by a Lady in Vindication of her Sex" published in 1686 and in a revised form in 1707. Facsimiles of both printings are presented here, along with her collection Poems on Several Occasions, Together with a Pastoral, published in 1703. These poems show that she had acquaintances in the world of the theater and was an engaged reader of philosophical and scientific works. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
