Alison Cockburn : prose writing/s

Elizabeth Carter to Catherine Talbot, 20 August 1751: 'You tell me nothing of Mrs Cockburn. I have read but little yet, but she seems to have had a most remarkable clear understanding and an excellent heart. By what I have read of her prose, I should by no means suspect she had a genius formed for poetry, which is perhaps one reason why I have not yet looked into her play.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Carter      Print: Unknown
