Description

This collection of poetry is written, according to the title page, “by a hypochondriac, an unhappy young lady, and an elderly gentlewoman of considerable experience.” The half-title page of OU’s copy is inscribed “from his sincere, & obliged friend, The Author.” This inscription invites the question of which author signed this presentation copy, and others regarding the nature of collaborative, anonymous authorship. Alternatively, the possibility also exists that the singular “The Author” was indeed a hypochondriac, an unhappy young lady, and now an elderly gentlewoman of considerable experience, combined in self-deprecating, tripartite authorship.
