Description

"The poetical works of Janet Little, the Scotch milkmaid" by Janet Little is a volume of poetry published in 1792. This groundbreaking collection presents the work of a dairy worker who entered literary circles through her patron Frances Dunlop and became acquainted with Robert Burns himself. Little's poems, written entirely in English, gained substantial support from Scottish aristocracy and literary figures. The volume's success yielded significant profits and established Little as a notable voice among working-class poets of eighteenth-century Scotland. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
