 | | In fact, Philips was married at age sixteen, before she wrote almost any of the extant poetry; she also never wrote courtship verses of any kind. |
 | | Newcomb, seeking to censure Philips, is as careful to paint her with her sex as Cibber, Dryden, and Gwinnet, aiming at praise, are to circumvent it. |
 | | Unfortunately for Philips, however, Newcomb's lone denunciation of her poetry, supported as it was by a neoclassical aesthetic profoundly antagonistic to "Feminine Expression," seems to have carried considerable weight: as noted earlier, the last eighteenth-century edition of Philips's Poems appeared in 1710, just two years before Newcomb published the Bibliotheca. |
