8vo, pp. [xii], 68; a little spotted but generally a very good copy, in contemporary tree calf, spine gilt, joints cracked. Sole edition of a rare volume of poems by Janetta Philipps, issued by subscription: the list of those who patronised the publication is quite substantial, amounting to pre-publication orders for over 500 copies. Although almost nothing is known about Janetta Philipps herself, the subscription list is on its own quite informative: she presumably lived in Oxford, as there is a good preponderance of university and town names taking copies, but there is also a fair number from Somerset, notably from Bridgewater but also including Taunton, Stowey, Pawlet and Queen Camel. She must have been well-connected in high society, because there are several titled subscribers, led by the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough but also including the Earl of Dysart, Lord and Lady Bagot, the Earl of Stamford and so on. The most notable name on the list, however, is that of 'Mr. P.B. Shelley', who took six copies; other members of his family were also subscribers, such as his sisters Elizabeth and Hellen, and friends such as Thomas Medwin, Edward Graham and his future wife Harriet Westbrook (they were to elope in August the same year). Shelley took six copies, but this is not the end of his interest in the book: we know from a letter to Miss Philipps, written on 16 May of this year from the family home at Field Place, that he saw the manuscript of her poems before publication, and that he 'offered to print the Mss. at my own expence' (Letters I p. 88). When he wrote that letter, Shelley was in disgrace: he had been sent down from Oxford in late March, but had presumably been able to see the MS in Oxford through the good graces of his friend Strong, who is mentioned in the letter too. A subsequent letter, perhaps written later the same month (I p. 89), reacts forcefully to a letter she had written to him, which seems to have protested against the publication of his Necessity of Atheism (which he had mentioned in his previous letter). He did not forget her after this: next month he wrote to Hogg saying that Miss Philipps had 'twice the genius' of his sister Elizabeth (after whom Hogg was currently hankering). There is, however, no evidence that they were in touch after this and his interest in her was as transient as was that he took in the young Felicia Dorothea Browne (later Mrs Hemans). One feature of the book intriguingly suggests that this may not be Philipps's only publication: pp. 31-2 carry a poem headed 'Stanzas inserted in the novel of Delaval', which begins: 'Then teach me, ah! teach me that pang to subdue'. This set of five four-line stanzas does indeed appear on p. 117 of the anonymous gothic novel Delaval, published by the Minerva Press in 1802. No attribution has hitherto been made for the authorship of this piece of fiction, but it seems reasonable to suggest that Janetta Philipps could well have been responsible for it. See Garside, Raven & Schöwerling II p. 146 and Blakey, Minerva Press, p. 202. Jackson, Romantic Poetry by Women, p. 256. No copy of this book seems to have been sold at auction in the past forty years. Copac locates copies at the BL, Bodleian and NLS; there are also copies at Harvard, NYPL and Yale. Provenance. This copy belonged to an Oxford woman reader some twenty years after publication: it has the ownership inscription on the upper pastedown of Mary Barnett, Holywell St, Oxford, dated 1831. She must be the wife or daughter of Thomas Barnett, who kept a livery stables in Holywell (see Pigot's 1830 trade directory for Oxford): presumably he was prosperous, because when he died in 1841 he was designated 'gentleman'.
