Stockton, Annis Boudinot, 1736-1801. Annis Boudinot Stockton copybook, 1753-1791.

Title: Annis Boudinot Stockton copybook, 1753-1791.

Annis Boudinot Stockton's copybook is not only important as the largest collection of her work, but as documentation of an early American female writer. The volume contains poems written by Stockton throughout her lifetime. The dates in the book range from 1753-1791, however, the poems were probably copied sometime during the 1780s and 1790s. It is unclear whether the included dates refer to the writing, editing, or copying. Some dates conflict with other known copies of the poems and therefore might be inaccurate. A large number of poems are not dated at all. The first third of the book is not in Annis Stockton's hand, but probably that of one of her daughters, either Mary Stockton Hunter or Abigail Stockton Field.
