Beschreibung
Hannah Cowley, nee Parkhouse (1743-1809) was an English dramatist and poet. Cowley's plays were produced frequently during her lifetime. The major themes of her plays; including her first, The Runaway (1776), and her major hit, The Belle's Stratagem (1780); revolve around marriage and how women strive to overcome the injustices imposed by family life and social custom. She had a less-distinguished career as a poet, writing The Scottish Village; or, Pitcairne Green in 1786, and The Siege of Acre in 1801. In the summer of 1787, under the nom de plume Anna Matilda, she and poet Robert Merry (writing under the name Della Crusca) began a poetic correspondence in the pages of the journal The World. Their poems were sentimental and flirtatious. At first the two did not even know the others' identity; later they met and became part of a poetic movement called the Della Cruscans. Her other works include: Who's the Dupe? (1779), Albina (1779) and A Bold Stroke for a Husband (1783).
