Mary Leapor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Mary Leapor Title page, Poems Upon Several Occasions (1748) by Mary Leapor Born Marston St Lawrence, Northamptonshire England UK Died Brackley Northamptonshire England UK Occupation Poet Nationality British Influences Alexander Pope Jonathan Swift Mary Leapor (1722–1746) was an English poet, born in Marston St. Lawrence Northamptonshire , the only child of Anne Sharman (died 1741) and Philip Leapor (1693–1771), a gardener. She is notable for being one of the most critically well-received of the numerous labouring-class writers of the period. Contents Life Work Notes Etexts ... edit Life Partly self-educated, she probably received a rudimentary education at either a local Dame school, or at the local free school in Brackley on the south side of the Chapel. According to her father she began writing "tolerably" at the age of 10. Her father recollected "She would often be scribbling, and sometimes in Rhyme", but that her mother ended up discouraging the writing, requesting she find some "more profitable employment". She was fortunate enough to attain a position as kitchen maid with an employer, Susanna Jennens ("Parthenissa" in Leapor's poetry), who apparently encouraged her writing and allowed her the use of her library. Jennens wrote poetry herself and had connections to both Mary Astell and Mary Wortley Montagu . Not all employers were so accommodating and Leapor's devotion to writing led to her dismissal from a subsequent position with Sir Richard Chauncy’s family, as she apparently would not stop writing even in the kitchen. In 1784 an account was published in

Misogynous Economies: The Business Of Literature In Eighteenth-Century Britain Misogyny and Feminism Mary Leapor Mary Leapor's poetry makes use of misogynous representations for feminist purposes. Sexism takes many forms, including the idealization of http://www.users.muohio.edu/mandellc/misog.html

Misogynous Economies: The Business of Literature in Eighteenth-Century Britain (Lexington: Univ. Press of Kentucky by Laura Mandell Summary Some kinds of misogyny are used in eighteenth-century literature for what we might call "good" purposes, to resist the commodification of literature and even to resist the sexism inherent in idealizing representations of women, i.e., even for feminist purposes. The efficacy of such resistance, however, depends upon being able to read that misogyny as a rhetorical figure rather than as having a real referent, the female body. Misogyny becomes virulent when we de-rhetoricize it: some texts do that, but also some readers do it no matter what is going on in the text being read. To see misogyny as rhetorical is not to deny that it has had insidious effects: misogynous representations have indeed promoted the oppression of women. It is just to notice that misogyny as a rhetoric serves many functions. This book deals with two, specifically: the promotion of capitalist desires, and the construction of the canon. Chapter 1. "Misogyny and Literariness: Dryden, Pope, and Swift": Swift, Pope, and Dryden turn to misogyny as a refuge from reductive reading practices; only by reading their works as figurative rather than literal attacks on women can we see those pressures which come from the commodification of literature into objects. Misogyny is one means they have for fighting against reductive readings, preserving the opportunity for understanding texts by occupying the many different perspectives offered by each sentence, regardless of whether a perspective is ostensibly maligned or approved by the text as a whole. (I wouldn't choose to have them be misogynous writers. But it seems to me that they were trying to do something besides just express their own distaste for women.)

EN 337: STUDIES IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY POETRY: WOMEN POETS IN CONTEXT Shawn Maurer Fall 2o02 Course Description and Goals: Although as novelists, women gained increasing prominence in the course of the eighteenth century, the period's female poets have remained relatively obscure-relegated to minor status or known primarily for their work in other genres. In this course, we will examine women's broad and significant contribution to the Restoration and eighteenth-century poetic tradition. Reading a wide range of poetry by women of vastly different backgrounds, we will consider their work both in relation to that of their better-known male contemporaries (including Dryden, Rochester, Pope, and Swift) and in the context of the period's vigorous debates concerning women's education, talent, and place in society. We will also raise important questions about print culture, canon formation, and the development of a literary tradition as we investigate these works and the various methods by which they were disseminated and received. Required Texts: Roger Lonsdale, ed.

Robert Southey, Specimens of the Later English Poets, with preliminary notices . 3 Volumes (London: Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme, 1807) Information about the collection: The poets included in the 3 volumes are arranged in the table of contents both in chronological (from year of death) and in alphabetical order. The titles of the poems themselves are not listed in either place; in the alphabetical list both the volume and page number where the author's works might be found are given. From the Preface: These volumes are intended to accompany Mr. Ellis's well known Specimens of the Early English Poets. That series concludes with the reign of Charles II, this begins with that of James his successor: the two together will exhibit the rise, progress, decline and revival of our Poetry, and the fluctuations of our poetical taste, from the first growth of the English language to the present times. A slight difference has been made in arrangement; instead of sorting the Poets, according to the reigns in which they flourished, I have noticed each under the year of his death, where that could be ascertained, otherwise according to the date of his chief publication. It was desirable that the series should be brought down to the end of the last century, and this order determined whom it should include. In consequence of this arrangement a few names will be found, which are included in the work of Mr. Ellis. Many worthless versifyers are admitted among the English Poets, by the courtesy of criticism, which seems to conceive that charity towards the dead may cover the multitude of its offences against the libing. There were other reasons for including here the reprobate, as well as the elect.
