She was left by her parents in care of a cousin by whom she was seduced and then abandoned. She then had recourse to her pen, and in 1696 produced a tragedy, "The Royal Mischief," which brought her notoriety. After this she published the above work in which she satirised many persons of rank who effected the revolution, and caused a great sensation; in consequence she was brought before the Privy Council but escaped punishment; the printer and publisher were also seized by a warrant from the Secretary of State's office. She next assisted Swift in writing the Examiner, and in 1717 brought out another tragedy, called "Lucius." In the latter part of her life she became the mistress of Alderman Barber, and died in 1724. |
