A Letter to My Love: Love Poems by Women First Published in the Barbados Gazette, 1731-1737

by Bill Overton (Editor)

This is a critical edition, with introduction, afterword, and notes, of forty-one poems written by one or more women in England and first published in one of the earliest Caribbean newspapers, the Barbados Gazette. The poems are of interest not only for their quality, but because they challenge widely held preconceptions about eighteenth-century verse.
