Encyclopedia Britannica



WARREN, MERCY (17281814)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 330 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WARREN, MERCY (17281814) , American writer,
sister
  of James Otis (q.v.), was born at Barnstable, Mass., and in 1754 married James Warren (17261808) of Plymouth Mass., a college friend of her brother. Her literary inclinations were fostered by both these men, and she began early to write poems and
prose
  essays. As member of the Massachusetts
House
  of Representatives (17661774) and its speaker (17761777 and 17871788), member (1774 and 1775) and president (1775) of the Provincial Congress, and paymaster-general in 1775, James Warren took a leading part in the events of the American revolutionary period, and his wife followed its progress with keen
interest
 . Her gifts of
satire
  were utilized in her political dramas, The Adulator (1773) and The Group (1775); and John Adams, whose wife Abigail was Mercy Warren's close friend, encouraged her to further efforts. Her tragedies, " The Sack of Rome " and " The Ladies of Castile," were included in her Poems, Dramatic and Miscellaneous (179o), dedicated to General Washing-ton. Apart from their historical
interest
  among the beginnings of American literature, Mercy Warren's poems have no permanent value. In 18o5 she published a History of the American Revolution, which was coloured by somewhat outspoken personal criticism and was bitterly resented by John Adams (see his correspondence, published by the Massachusetts Historical Society, 1878). James Warren died in ,8o8, and his wife followed him on the 19th of October 1814.
See Elizabeth F. Ellet, Women of the Revolution (1856; new ed., 1900) ; an article by Annie Russell Marble in the New England Magazine (April 1903); Alice Brown, Mercy Warren (New
York
 , 1896).
