Events

  • The antiquarian and biographer George Ballard published his only work three years before his death, Memoirs of several ladies of Great Britain, who have been celebrated for their writings, or skill in the learned languages, arts and sciences , the first English-language collection of female biographies, who had made a name for themselves in the arts, above all in literature. He used his tried and tested antiquarian methods by collecting detailed information about the learned noble ladies since the 14th century, thereby breaking the hagiographic traditions of the saints' legends, which women looked at solely because of the merits of their husbands. It was only Biographium Faemineum (1766) and James Granger's A Biographical History of England (1769–1774) that were innovative in the English-speaking world in the 18th century. The large-format work, which to this day serves as the first source base for the work and biography of many writers and literary patrons of the 18th century, was financed through subscription . Ballard regretted in his foreword when he had to exclude some writers, such as Lady Mary Wroth , from his collection for lack of material and biographical data.
