Elizabeth Singer Rowe (néeSinger, 1674–1737) was an English poet, essayist and fiction writer called "the ornament of her sex and age"[1] and the "Heavenly Singer".[2] She was among 18th-century England's most widely read authors.[3] She wrote mainly religious poetry, but her best-known work, Friendship in Death (1728), is a Jansenist miscellany of imaginary letters from the dead to the living.[4] Despite a posthumous reputation as a pious, bereaved recluse, Rowe corresponded widely and was involved in local concerns at Frome in her native Somerset.[5] She remained popular into the 19th century on both sides of the Atlantic and in translation. Though little read today, scholars have called her stylistically and thematically radical for her time.[6]
