Biography:
MADDEN, William (fl 1781)
In the preface to his slight satire The Bath Macaroni, dedicated to the Duke of Leeds, William Madden Esq. promised an expanded version should the first one be successful, but evidently it was not: no sequel appeared and no other publication is associated with his name. The poem was dated from Bath, a spa town with a fluctuating population. Madden does not appear to have been a local and no records have been found for Great Britain or Ireland that might identify him with any degree of certainty.
