This site contains manuscript images and editions of poems by Sarah Wilmot compiled in a manuscript notebook by her daughter, Elizabeth Sarah Wilmot (the notebook is one of three held at the Chawton House Library as MS 4946 WIL). "Sarah Wilmot, Forgotten Bluestocking" also offers contextual and critical materials related to the poems. The site was created by the students of ENGL 420W at Simon Fraser University in the Fall 2017 and Summer 2018 semesters, as well as by Research Assistants Ann Cheng, Rawia Inaim, and Angela Wachowich, under the direction of Professor Betty A. Schellenberg (schellen@sfu.ca).
