Much of Egerton’s work appears to have been passed amongst a group of female poets as she indicates in her dedication to the Earl of Hallifax in Poems on Several Occasions (1703), “They her poems never were abroad before, nor e’er seen but by my own sex, some of which have favour’d me with their compliments.” At times her works were not only reviewed by her peers, but were also part of corroborative pieces like The Nine Muses—an elegiac tribute to John Dryden.
