Daisies on an old book
Sarah Scott’s Millenium hall
Imagining a female utopia
Sarah Robinson was born in West Layton, Yorkshire, in 1723 to Matthew Robinson and Elizabeth Drake Robinson. She married George Lewis Scott in 1751. However, a year later, her father removed her from her husband's home without providing any financial support. Through her sister, Elizabeth Montagu, Sarah became acquainted with Lady Barbara Montagu. Sarah joined Lady Barbara in Bath, where they lived modestly and actively worked to help the poor establish cottage industries. Sarah Scott's novel, "Millenium Hall," is often regarded as a fictional representation of the Bluestocking Ideas, a group that included Mary Montagu, Sarah Scott, Sarah Fielding, and Hannah More.
