Alicia D'Anvers (Clarke ) (baptised 1668 – 1725) was an English poet. == Biography == Born in Oxford, her father was superior beadle of civil law and first ''architypographus'', or director of printing, for Oxford University. She married barrister Knightley D'Anvers (c.1670–1740), son of physician Daniel D'Anvers, in 1688. D'Anvers is known to have published two poems with a third generally attributed to her: the first was dedicated to Queen Mary; it is a poetic dialogue between Britannia and Belgia which addresses criticisms that King William III had divided loyalties between the Netherlands, the country of his birth, and Britain. According to Germaine Greer et al., it is "as dull as might be expected."〔Greer et al. 376〕 The second and third poems satirise elements of academic life at Oxford University. These latter were part of a long satiric tradition not usually practiced by women; D'Anvers would seem to have been quite familiar with college politics. Both poems target the alleged sexual antics of Oxford students, though ''The Oxford-Act'' is particularly bawdy. ''Academia, or, The Humours of the University of Oxford'' was D'Anvers most popular poem; told from the perspective of a town servant, it lampoons the current state of the university through the eyes of a visiting country bumpkin, one John Blunder, and consists of 1,411 lines of "robust colloquial iambic tetrameters, called hudibrastics."〔Greer et al. 377〕
