Abstract
An analysis of the subscription lists of Thomas Warton the elder’s Poems reveals a slightly higher percentage of female readers than the norm, a large percentage of members of the lower clergy, more subscriptions than the norm, and a low number of people in the Dictionary of National Biography. All these findings seem to corroborate the modern research that indicates that the eighteenth-century reading public was not as monolithic as was once thought.
