Item Details

Description

Book : A leatherbound first edition volume of ' The Rudiments of Grammar for the English -Saxon tongue , first given in English : with an apology for the study of Northern Antiquities ' , Elizabeth Elstob , published by J Bowyer , 1715

Elizabeth Elstob (1683-1756), the "Saxon Nymph", was born and brought up in the Quayside area of Newcastle upon Tyne, and, like Mary Astell of Newcastle, is nowadays regarded as one of the first English feminists. She was proficient in eight languages and became a pioneer in Anglo-Saxon studies, an unprecedented achievement for a woman in the period.
From 1702, Elizabeth was part of the circle of intelligent women around Mary Astell, who helped to find subscribers for her Rudiments of Grammar for the English-Saxon Tongue , the first such work written in English. The preface, An Apology for the Study of Northern Antiquities, took issue with the formidable Jonathan Swift and seems to have caused him to amend his views.
