Elizabeth Bath

Elizabeth Bath (1772 – 1856) [ [http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/specialcollections/collections/wprp/items/005.htm UCB Libraries | Special Collections | WPRP 5 ] ] is the author of a collection of sixty-six poems published by subscription in 1806 in Bristol. She was a member of the Society of Friends; [ [http://www.archive.org/details/poemsonvariousoc00bathlond Internet Archive: Details: Poems on Various Occasions ] ] she was married to one Henry Bath; [ [http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/specialcollections/collections/wprp/B.htm UCB Libraries | Special Collections | WPRP Index: B ] ] little else is known of her. Bath's book is dedicated to a friend "whose sincerity is equalled 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.
