She lived with her family in Bath from 1801 to 1806, and at Southampton from 1806 to 1809. Born on 16 December, 1775, at Steventon in Hampshire, of which her father was rector, she passed the intervening years almost entirely in the country. ![]() There was nothing of the literary woman in the external affairs of her life and its conduct.
