Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Theophilus cibber's Lives of the Poets of Great Britain and Ireland (1753) includes a substantial account of Mrs. Elizabeth Singer Rowe and points out the relevance of this lady and her works to contemporary affairs: “The conduct and behaviour of Mrs. Rowe might put some of the present race of females to the blush, who rake the town for infamous adventures to amuse the public. Their works will soon be forgotten, and their memories when dead, will not be deemed exceeding precious; but the work of Mrs. Rowe can never perish, while exalted piety and genuine goodness have any existence in the world. Her memory will be ever honoured, and her name dear to latest posterity.”
