The poetical works of Janet Little, the Scotch milkmaid by Janet Little

"The poetical works of Janet Little, the Scotch milkmaid" by Janet Little is a volume of poetry published in 1792. This groundbreaking collection presents the work of a dairy worker who entered literary circles through her patron Frances Dunlop and became acquainted with Robert Burns himself.

The volume's success yielded significant profits and established Little as a notable voice among working-class poets of eighteenth-century Scotland. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
