Jackson Bibliography of Romantic Poetry

COX, Elizabeth, formerly Paschall (b 1769: NUC)

Although NUC indicates that The Cottage Minstrel and by extension Flowers of Autumn have been attributed to Elizabeth Cox, no evidence is provided and at least one other name has been suggested for the declared author, "a female of this city [Philadelphia]." If the NUC birthdate is correct, she would have been about sixty at the time of publication. Her preface to the first book says that poverty led her to publish poems "chiefly written at an early period of life; and without premeditation." (NUC) HJ
