Biography:
CROWTHER, Mrs. (d c. 1802)
Crowther is not an unusual name in Yorkshire where Mrs. Crowther’s book was published and it has not been possible to identify the author of Moral Tales and Poetic Essays with any certainty. The book includes a preface by the author which makes the usual claim of being encouraged to publish by friends and states that the author had the benefit of only a limited education. A second preface is by an unknown editor who issued the book after Mrs Crowther’s early death from consumption. There is no list of subscribers and the editor rejects any suggestion that he (or she) issued the book out of self-interest or for financial gain.
