Abstract AI-Helper 아이콘AI-Helper

As part of the project to recover the writings of early eighteenth-century women poets, this article discusses the popular poetry of Mary Chandler (1687-1745), the author of the much-reprinted Description of Bath …to which are added several poems(1733). Previous work on Augustan women's poetry...

  6. Shiels, p. 345. Pope left no comment on Chandler. In 1734, when Chandler's occasional poems first appeared, Pope had only published the two Epistles to Burlington and Bathurst and one Imitation. As Thomas suggests, it is unlikely that Chandler approved of Pope's oppositional Horatian satires of the later 1730s.

Oswald Doughty's patronising “A Bath Poetess of the Eighteenth Century” in The Review of English Studies, vol. I, no. 4 (October 1925), pp. 404-420, first notes the influence of Pope.

  16. Whilst Barash does give a brief account of women's poetry under William and Mary, she quickly turns to the figure of Mary's sister, Anne (pp. 209-216). As Barash remarks, any account would need to give careful consideration to the ambivalent status accorded Locke by feminist historians, and the identification of women poets with William's martial exploits.

By one estimate, half of the women's poetry prefaces published between 1667 and 1750 make apologies for the author's sex; seeGibsonR.G.“‘My Want of Skill’: Apologies of British Women Poets 1660-1800” Eighteenth-Century Women and the Arts KeenerF.M.LorschS.E.19887981as cited by Shoemaker, p. 283.

  23. Troost, pp. 67-68. 

  24. Troost's footnote refers to Luce Irigaray and Jaques Derrida on “the phallus as transcendental signifier” in Toril Moi's Sexual/Textual Politics. I can see nothing particularly feminine in the cyclical theories of post-Newtonian physico-theology: these were primarily theories produced by male virtuosi and used by male poets like Thomson every bit as much as by women.

  30. Again, Chandler's immediate model for her use of this metaphor is the opening of Denham's Cooper's Hill. My image here is borrowed from Robert Shoemaker's comment that “the new form of public space created by the proliferation of printed literature, [was] a kind of eighteenth and nineteenth-century virtual reality in which works created in private could be distributed throughout society” (p. 315).

  43. Borsay later remarks that “the new urban culture … contributed to stability in practical ways by providing attractive contexts in which the traditional elite and the growing middling ranks could freely mix and acquire and exchange status and wealth, thereby neutralizing the potentially most dangerous of all divisions in post-Restoration Britain” (p. 282).

Published by Leake in October 1736, and devised by John Wood to advertise his (and Allen's) property developments, it includes a written advertisement extolling the virtues of the newly improved City. A key directs the reader to all the points of geographical, historical, social and commercial interest as described in Chandler's Description.

  55. This legend, ubiquitous in Bath literature, is traceable to Geoffrey of Monmouth and William Camden's Brittania (1586).

  58. SeeAveryEmmettL.“A Royal Wedding Confounded” Western Humanities Review 1956X153164The marriage, originally scheduled for 12 November 1733, was repeatedly postponed until 14 March 1734. Boyce found it incongruous that Chandler's Description should start with a royal dedication and end with the praise of Allen, a commoner, but the very fact that Chandler is comfortable with such a juxtaposition registers her ideological distance from Pope. 

  59. Goldsmith's Life of Richard Nash Esq 1762describes Nash's monument as “a small obelisk, thirty feet high” bearing the Prince's arms and this inscription: “In memoriam sanitatis Principi Auriaco aquarum thermalium potu. Favente Deo, Ovante Brittania, Feliciter restituae, M. DCC. xxxiv” (p. 341). In 1738, Nash erected a similar obelisk to the Prince of Wales in Queen's Square for which Pope provided an anonymous inscription. 

  60. Six months before her death, on Monday 8 April 1745, in The Bath Journal (vol. II, no. 3) Mary Chandler announced her retirement from business and advertised the sale of both her shop and lodging house.

  63. The Abbey was notorious for assignations, partly because of its use as a pedestrian thoroughfare, the outside alleyways being congested with market stalls. 

  64. These tensions in Chandler's production of Bath as a modern utopian space are commensurate with Frederic Jameson's account of the “space” of early market capitalism, which may be seen “in terms of a logic of the grid, a reorganization of some older sacred and heterogeneous space into geometrical and Cartesian homogeneity, a space of infinite equivalence and extension … [in which] we witness the familiar process long generally associated with the Enlightenment, namely the desacralization of the world, the decoding and secularization of the older forms of the sacred and the transcendent, [and] the slow colonization of use value by exchange value” (Postmodernism, p. 410). 

  65. I have not ventured to examine this text in the British Library. Quotations from Neale, p. 24.
