Letters from Orinda to Poliarchus
by Philips, Katherine Philips
- Used
London: printed by W.B. for Bernard Lintott, 1705, 1664. This copy is bound in original full calf stored in a custom morroco case. This is a collection of 48 ( XLVIII) actual letters written by Philips to her patron Sir Charles Cotterell published several decades after her death, there is quit a bit of discussion of the literary culture of the seventh century in Britain. Including insite to Philips writing and reading habits. she often mentions books she is reading and plays which she is working on.
Philips was interested in the epistolary form, she founded the Society of Friendship in 1651 until 1661 was a semi-literary correspondence circle made up of mostly women, though men were also involved. The membership of this group, however, is somewhat questionable, because the authors took on pseudonyms from Classical literature (for example Katherine took on the name Orinda, in which the other members added on the accolade "Matchless.") It is interesting to see the relations between the female members of the circle, especially Anne Owen, who is known in Philips's poems as Lucasia. Half of Katherine's poetry is dedicated to this woman. Anne and Katherine seem to have been lovers in an emotional, if not in a physical, sense for about ten years. Also significant as correspondents and lovers were Mary Awbrey (Rosania) and Elizabeth Boyle (Celimena). Elizabeth's relationship with Katherine, however, was cut short by Philips' death in 1664.
