Synopsis

The Works Of Mrs. Elizabeth Rowe: Letters Moral & Entertaining, Pt. 3. Devout Exercises Of The Heart. Poems & Translations By Mr. Thomas Rowe by Elizabeth Singer Rowe presents a late-18th-century edition of the English author's major devotional and epistolary writings. This edition assembles moral and entertaining letters, devotional meditations in the 'Devout Exercises Of The Heart', and a sequence of original poems and translations by Thomas Rowe. The letters depict moral romances and social mores, interwoven with pastoral pieces and translations of classical works. The devotional sections, compiled after Rowe's death and prefaced by a tribute from the Reverend Dr Watts, exhibit a highly religious temper, intense meditation on God, Providence, and salvation, and a pattern of self-examination and covenant faith. The volume sheds light on 18th-century feminine authorship and the enduring influence of pious literature on English prose and poetry.
