Mary Ferrar

-
Standard Name: Ferrar, Mary
MF , hardly a writer herself; was the matriarch of a seventeenth-century family which lived like a religious community, and which seems to have composed dialogues and short moral histories collaboratively, as well as letters individually.
Feminist Companion Archive.
The only family member whose name is well remembered is MF 's son Nicholas (who is called by some an Anglican saint, and to whom we owe the preservation and publication of George Herbert 's poems).
