A book with a pedigree! Susanna Centlivre (c. 1669 (baptised) – 1 December 1723), born Susanna Freeman and also known professionally as Susanna Carroll, was an English poet, actress, and "the most successful female playwright of the eighteenth century".Centlivre's "pieces continued to be acted after the theatre managers had forgotten most of her contemporaries." During a long career at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, she became known as the second woman of the English stage, after Aphra Behn.
Aphra Behn 14 December 1640] – 16 April 1689) was an English playwright, poet, prose writer and translator from the Restoration era. As one of the first English women to earn her living by her writing, she broke cultural barriers and served as a literary role model for later generations of women authors. Rising from obscurity, she came to the notice of Charles II, who employed her as a spy in Antwerp. Upon her return to London and a probable brief stay in debtors' prison, she began writing for the stage. She belonged to a coterie of poets and famous libertines such as John Wilmot, Lord Rochester. Behn wrote under the pastoral pseudonym Astrea. During the turbulent political times of the Exclusion Crisis, she wrote an epilogue and prologue that brought her into legal trouble; she thereafter devoted most of her writing to prose genres and translations. A staunch supporter of the Stuart line, she declined an invitation from Bishop Burnet to write a welcoming poem to the new king William III. She died shortly after. She is remembered in Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own: "All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn which is, most scandalously but rather appropriately, in Westminster Abbey, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds." Her grave is not included in the Poets' Corner but lies in the East Cloister near the steps to the church. Her best-known works are Oroonoko: or, the Royal Slave, sometimes described as an early novel, and the play The Rover.

Reflections on the Imitation of Greek Works in Painting and Sculpture. It is a philosophical definition of Greek aesthetics. The work contains numerous discussions about the connection between art, literature, and emotions, and Winckelmann often quotes the dictum about the "noble simplicity and quiet greatness" of Greek sculpture. He also describes the statue of Laocoon, which had a significant influence on the German playwright and critic of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717 - 1768) German art historian and archaeologist. He was a pioneering Hellenist who first articulated the difference between Greek, Greco-Roman and Roman art, which would be a decisive influence on the rise of the neoclassical movement during the late 18th century Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717 - 1768) German art historian and archaeologist.

"The Female Aegis. outlines for its young female readership the three areas in which "the influence of the female character is most important": 1) In contributing daily and hourly to the comfort of husbands, of parents, of brothers and sisters.in the intercourse of domestic life, under every vicissitude of sickness and health, of joy and affliction. 2) IN forming and improving the general manners, disposition, and conduct of the other sex, by society and example. 3) In modelling the human mind during the early stages of its growth, and fixing, while it is still ductile, its growing principle of action. The text advocates a kind of educational reform for young women, "drawing forth the reasoning power of girls into action" through their instruction in "geography, natural history, portions of general history, and popular facts in astronomy, and in other sciences" –
