Abstract
This article aims to further our understanding of Elizabeth Singer Rowe, an important eighteenth-century writer who is little read today. “The Story of Semiramis”, an inset narrative in her biblical poem The History of Joseph (1736-37), is notable for its interest as an extensively revised representation of an important historical character. The narrative is intimately linked to the biblical plot of Joseph, and illuminates Rowe's interests in generic hybridisation and in the religious interpretation of secular history.
