Elizabeth Carter (pen name Eliza; 16 December 1717 – 19 February 1806) was an English poet, classicist, writer, translator, linguist, and polymath. As one of the Bluestocking Circle that surrounded Elizabeth Montagu,[1] she earned respect for the first English translation of the 2nd-century Discourses of Epictetus.[2] She also published poems and translated from French and Italian, and corresponded profusely.[3] Among her many eminent friends were Elizabeth Montagu, Hannah More, Hester Chapone and other Bluestocking members. Also close friends were Anne Hunter, a poet and socialite, and Mary Delany.[4] She befriended Samuel Johnson, editing some editions of his periodical The Rambler.
