Summary "A Lady of the Last Century" by John Doran is a biographical work, likely written in the late 19th century, that explores the life of Elizabeth Robinson, better known as Mrs. Montagu. The book focuses on her upbringing, character, and the cultural and societal contexts she navigated as a notable figure in the 18th century. It highlights her influential role as an early advocate for women's education and her connections to prominent intellectuals of her time. The opening of the narrative presents an overview of Mrs. Montagu's origins, detailing her birth and family background, which contributed to her distinguished upbringing. It describes her lively and intellectually stimulating childhood, shaped by her father's encouragement and the educational philosophies of the time. This portion establishes a foundation for understanding her notable personality, revealing her wit, vivacity, and engagement with contemporary society through her correspondence and observations on life in 18th-century England. The early letters she penned, rich with humor and insight, set the stage for her development into a key figure in the literary and social circles of her era.
