Mai 1689 in Thoresby, Nottinghamshire; ? 21. August 1762 London) war eine englische Schriftstellerin und Lyrikerin. Die Briefe, die sie während ihres Aufenthalts in Konstantinopel schrieb und posthum als Turkish Embassy Letters veröffentlicht wurden, machten sie europaweit bekannt. Bekannt wurde Lady Mary zu ihrer Lebenszeit auch als Mittelpunkt einer literarischen und intellektuellen Szene aus Dichtern wie Alexander Pope, John Gay oder Mary Astell. Lady Mary setzte sich ferner für die Variolation bei Pocken ein . Lady Mary Wortley Montagu hat im Laufe ihres Lebens eine Vielzahl von Gedichten, Briefen und weitere Prosatexte wie Romanzen verfasst. Außerdem war sie eine produktive Tagebuchschreiberin. Zu Lebzeiten etablierte sie bereits einen Ruf als Dichterin und Intellektuelle durch ihre Briefe, die sie mit wichtigen Persönlichkeiten in England wechselte, und durch ihre Gedichte, die hauptsächlich in Manuskriptform unter ihren Freunden zirkulierten. Als Mitglied der adeligen Oberschicht und als Frau galt es als unpassend, eigene Schriften zu veröffentlichen, so dass zu Lady Marys Lebzeiten nur wenige ihrer Texte veröffentlicht wurden, meist ohne ihr Einverständnis. So wurden z. B. ihre Stadteklogen (Town Eclogues), die sie mit Alexander Pope und John Gay verfasste, bereits 1716 als Raubkopien veröffentlicht. Auch die Publikation eines Briefs an Abbé Conti aus Konstantinopel, der auch ihren ersten Ruhm als brillante Briefeschreiberin begründete, kam 1719 ohne ihr Einverständnis zustande. Lady Marys Ruf als ernstzunehmende Schriftstellerin begründet sich vor allem auf ihren posthum veröffentlichten Briefen, die sie während ihrer Zeit auf der Reise nach und in Konstantinopel verfasst hat und die unter dem Titel Embassy Letters bekannt wurden. Ihre Lyrik ist erst in den letzten Jahren von der Literaturwissenschaft entdeckt worden. Themen von Lady Marys Lyrik reichen von Satire über Liebeslyrik bis hin zu Kritik der damaligen Männer- und Frauenrollen. Ein großer Teil von Lady Mary Wortley Montagus Werk ist jedoch für die Nachwelt verloren. Da zu ihren Lebzeiten Gedichte nur selten und häufig anonym veröffentlicht wurden, ist es häufig schwierig, Gedichte ihr als Autorin korrekt zuzuordnen. Viele ihrer Schriften, so auch ihr Tagebuch, wurden schon zu Lebzeiten oder nach ihrem Tod vernichtet. Seit den 1960er Jahren gibt es eine zunehmende Zahl von modernen Editionen ihrer Werke, so von ihren Briefen, ihren Gedichten und ihren Romanzen. In Konstantinopel wurde Lady Mary Zeugin von Pockenimpfungen (eigentlich Variolation), ihre Beobachtungen ließ sie per Brief ihrer Freundin am 1. April 1717 zukommen. Im Frühling 1717 ließ sie ihren Sohn durch den dort praktizierenden englischen Arzt Dr. Charles Maitland inoculieren. Als 1721 die Pocken in England ausbrachen und viele Tote kosteten, ließ sie auch ihre Tochter impfen. Ferner versuchte sie in ihrem Umkreis für die Pockenimpfung zu werben. So gelang es ihr, König Georg I. zu überzeugen, seine Enkel von Jan Ingenhousz inoculieren zu lassen ? wenn auch nach Tests an Waisen und Strafgefangenen. Von diesem Zeitpunkt an verbreitete sich die Variolation in Großbritannien, allerdings blieb sie weiterhin Gegenstand hitziger Kontroversen in den Zeitungen. Die Variolation blieb umstritten, auch weil sie nicht immer zuverlässig funktionierte, bis der Arzt Edward Jenner 1796 ein besseres Verfahren entwickelte ("Vakzination") ."

According to the diarist Sir Edward Walter Hamilton, the second reading of the Divorced Wife's Sister Bill caused 'great excitement'. Due to clerical opposition, the Bill did not reach the statute book until 1907, and even then in a limited form. These seven items provide an interesting glimpse into the inner workings of the Victorian legislative process. All are clear and complete, and docketed by Dalhousie in red. All in fair condition, with various degrees of aging. Letter One: Sir Thomas Henry Farrer ('S Th Farrer'); 16 July 1885; 27 Bryanston Square, on letterhead of the Athenaeum Club, Pall Mall. 12mo, 3 pp. He is enclosing a copy (not present) of a letter which he sent 'to the Spectator last year on the subject of the Deceased Wifes sister Bill. - It may possibly be of some use to you, as it is a real case - my own. | I have always felt strongly against our present law, as a gross piece of clerical tyranny: - But I feel even yet more strongly against the hypocrisy which, afraid of resting the case on its real ground of ecclesiastical authority, tries to support it by social arguments which are if possible more revolting than they are false.' While he could not put his name to 'such a letter', 'the actual experience of one who has known what a sister in law may be - is perhaps of some value'. Letter Two: Francis Needham, 3rd Earl of Kilmorey ('Kilmorey'); 16 May 1885; on letterhead of Glenmore House, Rosstrevor, County Down, Ireland. They are not 'coming up to town this season', so wish to be paired in favour of the bill. 'Kind regards from self & wife to you & Lady Dalhousie & the twins!' Letter Three: Arthur Kinnaird, 10th Lord Kinnaird ('Kinnaird'); 8 June 1885; on letterhead of 1 Pall Mall East, London, S.W. 12mo, 2 pp. He has been 'very unwell lately', and his doctor has 'forbidden my doing more than is absolutely necessary - I therefore thought I ought to obey him & stay away'. Letter Four: George Hay, 12th Earl of Kinnoull ('Kinnoull'); 27 May 1885; on letterhead of Dupplin Castle, Perth. 12mo, 2 pp. He is 'anxious to support the second reading of the bill', but as he does not 'expect to be in London at that time' he asks for a pair. Letter Five: Douglas Graham, 5th Duke of Montrose ('Montrose'); 28 May 1885; on letterhead of Buchanan Castle, Glasgow. He cannot be in his place, and asks for a pair. 12mo, 2 pp. Letter Six: George Byng, 3rd Earl of Strafford ('Strafford'); 14 May 1885; on letterhead of Wrotham Park, Barnet Herts. 16mo, 3 pp. His 'zeal for the success of your motion is unabated', but he 'cannot entertain the most remote hope of being able to record my vote [.] The discredited alternative of a Pair is my only chance of serving the cause, & perhaps, in the interval before the 2nd Reading, you may in your energetic arrangements hear of some (I hope, more convalescent) opponent with whom I might be linked.' He is sure 'Enfield' would 'assist in the search'. Letter Seven: Edward Montagu-Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Wharncliffe ('Wharncliffe'); 16 May 1885; British Embassy, Vienna. 12mo, 2 pp. There is 'no chance' of his being present. 'We remain here for another ten days, and then have to go down to Yorkshire'.
