Abstract

Most criticism on provincial authors argues that they succeeded through connections to the London metropolis. The career of Jane Cave Winscom (c.1762-1812) shows that another kind of provincial poet existed, one who moved through the provinces and eschewed metropolitan connections. New information on Winscom's biography and publications, and a close analysis of the content and rhetorical strategies of her poems, show her to have been a committed provincial author who interacted with the local community wherever she happened to be living.
