Anne Steele 1717-1738
There once was a woman, Anne Steele.
To nominative determinism I appeal
Anne is a girl's name, it speaks of femininity
And Steele points to strength, to backbone, rigidity.
In Anne Steele's hymns both of these things you'll see -
A zeal that can feel and a steel that is real.
This blog was started in 2016 as we were approaching the anniversary of Steele's birth. There are only about 70 articles there. There have been about 1300 hits. It can be found here. Most popular post on the blog with about 30 visits is The Cottle connection. You can find it here. Anne Steele was a contemporary of Benjamin Beddome so there is a little bit of cross over. As with Beddome, there is no portrait which is a shame.
