Most extraordinary, though, was her ability to manipulate the objects of female domesticity, an embroidered patch-work screen for example, as literary conceits to rival those of her male contemporaries. \"A Patch-Work Screen for the Ladies\" (1723) and \"The Lining of the Patch-Work Screen (1726), both part of The Galesia Trilogy, attest to her talents; they include realistic stories and romances interspersed with poems, hymns, recipes, and religious and philosophical reflections on the turbulent social, economic, and political scene of early eighteenth-century England. Both works, when first published, achieved immense popularity. This volume reprints the entire Galesia Trilogy as well as a selection of poems from the Magdalen manuscript.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jane Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575121281085,"sku":"9780195086508","price":394.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-galesia-trilogy-and-selected-manuscript-poems-of-jane-barker","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
