Ann Wall

-
Standard Name: Wall, Ann
Self-constructed Name: Ann Wall
Pseudonym: Lamenther
AW , evidently a writer of some ability, is remarkable chiefly for the sensational nature of her single known text, which is the apparently autobiographical (though just possibly fictional) record of her survival of physical abuse by her father (in modern terms a trauma narrative), which was published in 1771. She includes verses in it here and there, and had the intention of publishing a volume of poetry, which, however, is not known.
