Elizabeth Bath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elizabeth Bath (1772 – 1856)[1] is the author of a collection of sixty-six poems published by subscription in 1806 in Bristol. She was a member of the Society of Friends;[2] she was married to one Henry Bath;[3] little else is known of her. Bath's book is dedicated to a friend "whose sincerity is equalled only by the stability which has ever marked her character." The poems take a variety of forms — some are sonnets; some are longer poems — and they address religion, loss, friendship, sensibility, and other likely topics. The list of subscribers is substantial.
