Mary Leapor (1722-46) was the kitchen-maid daughter of a Northamptonshire gardener. Her poems are at times amusing, angry, and poignant. This volume presents all of her works, generously introduced and annotated, so that general readers may embrace this remarkable poet, whom many critics now believe to be one of the outstanding figures of 18th-century literature.
