Elizabeth Bath (17 February 1776 - 3 October 1844)[1] was an English poet.
Life[]
Bath was born Elizabeth Paddy, the daughter of Edward Paddy and Mary (Rowling) of Falmouth, Cornwall.
On 7 November 1796 she married Henry Bath (24 January 1776 - 29 May 1844) a Quaker and metals merchant of Swansea, South Wales, also founder of Henry Bath & Son Ltd., an enterprise still in existence today. They lived at Rosehill House, in Mumbles, Swansea.[2]
Elizabeth's sister, Mary, became the wife of Edward Osler and thereby the grandmother of Sir William Osler, the world-renowned physician.[2]
Elizabeth was the author of a collection of 66 poems published by subscription in 1806 in Bristol.[3]
Writing[]
Bath's book is dedicated to a friend "whose sincerity is equaled only by the stability which has ever marked her character." The poems take a variety of forms — some are sonnets; some are longer poems — and they address religion, loss, friendship, sensibility, and other likely topics. The list of subscribers is substantial.
