Biography:
BOWDLER, Jane (1743-84: ODNB)
She was born at Ashley, near Bath, the eldest child of Thomas Bowdler and his wife Elizabeth Stuart Cotton. She suffered a severe attack of smallpox in 1759 and never fully recovered. Bedridden from 1771, in her last years she was unable to speak. A selection from her literary remains, edited by her sister Henrietta Maria Bowdler (q.v.) and published for the benefit of the General Hospital at Bath, proved so popular that it was frequently reprinted.
