In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  The Life of Katherine Philips
Katherine Philips was born Katherine Fowler on January 1, 1632.
Katherine seems to have started to write poetry soon after she got married, and she was "discovered" by the poet Henry Vaughan, who praised the work of "The Matchless Orinda" in his Olor Iscanus.
In her own time, Katherine Philips was seen as a respectable antidote to the notorious Aphra Behn, who was considered by many amongst the great and good as immoral and coarse.

 Katherine Philips - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Katherine Philips (January 1, 1631 – June 22, 1664), was an Anglo-Welsh poet.
She broke with Presbyterian traditions in both religion and politics, and became an ardent admirer of the king and his church policy, and in 1647 married James Philips, a Welsh royalist.
Her home at the Priory, Cardigan, Wales became the centre of a society of friendship, the members of which were known to one another by fantastic names, Philips being "Orinda", her husband "Antenor", and Sir Charles Cotterel "Poliarchus".

Her parents were Presbyterians, and in 1647 she married James Philips, a supporter of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658).
Katherine Philips herself was a Royalist, and her poems record the difference between her own views and those of her husband.
Philips was praised by her contemporaries as the ideal woman poet because of her modest choice of subjects (compare, for example, Aphra Behn).

 Orinda - Publisher's note
Katherine Philips (1632-64), known to her contemporaries as "The Matchless Orinda", ranks as one of the most important early women writers.
She was born Katherine Fowler in London on 1 January 1632, the daughter of John Fowler (described by John Aubrey in his Brief Lives as "an eminent merchant in Bucklersbury") and his second wife, Katherine Oxenbridge (the daughter of Dr Oxenbridge, President of the Royal College of Physicians).
Katherine Philips, now 32, had now established an independent career as a writer and it was probably difficult for her to live with her depressed, 70-year old husband in rural Wales, while at the same time being aware of the increased interest in her.

Katherine Philips, known as "The Matchless Orinda," was the first English female poet to achieve a considerable reputation in her own time.
Philips used the conventions of her time to express in her own poetry a desexualized--though passionate and eroticized--version of platonic love in the love of same-sex friendship.
But in the case of Katherine Philips, external sources in the form of her letters and her highly unusual use of convention indicate that the feelings expressed in her poems were more than conventional or courtly gestures.

Katherine Mansfield's "The Daughters of the Late Colonel" and "The Garden Party", 1992.
By examining and analyzing several of Katherine Philips's poems, the author of this paper shows how Philips' poetry was most notable for its creative construction of gender and female sexuality, but surmises that the vision was secretly expressed inside the conventional language of female friendship.
This essay analyzes the diction of "Katherine" by Anya Seton in terms of whether the language is concrete or abstract, whether the words have interesting connotations, whether the diction is formal or colloquial and what inferences can be drawn about the speaker from the word choice of the speaker.

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.

During her marriage, Katherine frequently managed her husband's business affairs, but more commonly she devoted herself to literature and the pursuit of female friendships.
