Mohammad Vaziri (Group 9) Womens Studies 200 Dr. McBride 17 October 1997 Women Writers in Early Modern England: Group #9 Source: Greene, Richard. Mary Leapor: A Study in Eighteenth Century Womens Poetry. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1993. Summary: Richard Greene's recounting of the life and times of English women writers in the eighteenth century is an unpleasant depiction of the way women's writings had gone unnoticed and unrecognized in that time. Greene tells most of this history through Mary Leapor (1722-1746), a poet of the mid-century (vii). She was the daughter of a gardener and herself a domestic servant. Most of her life was spent in Brackley, Northamptonshire (vii). Unfortunately, as was the case with many of the female writers of that time, her works were not published until after her death. Once they were published, her works were well received and she became a popular poet (vii). Unlike most poets of that time, Leapor seldom addressed abstractions and wrote few odes. Instead, she wrote about her experiences as a working woman in a society which discriminated deeply on the basis of gender (vii). Since Leapor remained firmly outside the social elite of her time, she has very strong comparisons with some other female poets whose works are now being accepted and revealed as eighteenth century English verse. Many of these poets describe poverty or the injustices suffered by women of that time. The exclusion from legitimate publication was one of these injustices. These are the very things that shaped Mary Leapors own poetry (vii). Her experiences as an outsider, a woman, gave way to many compelling poems.
