Sophia Burrell

Sophia, Lady Burrell (née Raymond; 11 April 1753 – 20 June 1802) was an English poet and dramatist.

On 13 April 1773 she married William Burrell, Member of Parliament for Haslemere and came into possession, it is said, of 100,000 pounds, then an exorbitant amount of money.

[1] From 1773 to 1782 Lady Burrell's pen was employed on vers de société, varied by such heavier matter as Comala, from Ossian, in 1784.

Lady Burrell published two volumes of collected poems in 1793, and also the Thymriad from Xenophon, and Telemachus.

Lady Burrell and William Clay retired to Cowes, Isle of Wight, where she died in 1802, aged 52.
