#OnThisDay in #history - in 1836, Agnes Bulmer died in #England - Born to a middle class family, she had a good education. An #author from a young age, she was first published at 14, with The Death of Charles Wesley (published shortly after his death, his son praised her for the work). She wrote what is perhaps the longest poem in English by a woman, Messiah's Kingdom, which took over 9 years to write the over 14000 lines and it took 12 volumes to publish in 1833. #OTD#histodons@histodons
