Patrons: the earl of Orrery; In 1732 Swift unsuccessfully attempted to assist her by asking his friend the lord mayor of London to secure a position for her husband; gave her advice on publishing.
Periodicals etc.: Tunbrigialia, or, Tunbridge Miscellanies, for the Year 1730 (contributed anonymously); some verse on gout in the Gentleman's Magazine in 1737; Poems by Eminent Ladies (1755)
Overall: In 1730 Barber visited England, with Swift's support, to raise subscriptions for her Poems on several occasions, which obtained over 900 subscribers. Although she claimed in her Preface that public writing lay outside the province of women, and that she wrote her poems solely to educate her children, some of her work displays a particular social consciousness. The volume is dedicated to the Earl of Orrey, one of her most prominent patrons.
