Elizabeth Singer Rowe was an English poet, essayist and fiction writer described as "the ornament of her sex and age" and the "Heavenly Singer". She was among the most widely read 18th-century English authors. She wrote mainly religious poetry, but her best known Friendship in Death (1728) consisted of a series of imaginary letters from the dead to the living. Despite a posthumous reputation as a pious, bereaved recluse, Rowe kept up a wide correspondence and was involved in local concerns at Frome in her native Somerset. She remained popular and often translated well into the 19th century, on both sides of the Atlantic. Though little read today, scholars note she was stylistically and thematically radical for her time.
