An unrecorded 1785 discourse by Catharine Macaulay
- Abstract:
- This article examines a previously overlooked discourse entitled ‘A Quaker’s Sermon’, published in the September 1785 issue of The European Magazine, purportedly by Catharine Macaulay, the celebrated historian, philosopher, and republican writer. It provides reasons in support of the magazine’s attribution of the discourse to Macaulay and explicates the work’s connections to her wider social thought. The article also suggests that Macaulay may have published the discourse as a rhetorical exercise prohibited by most eighteenth-century denominations other than the Quakers: writing a sermon as a woman.
