Anne Dutton (1692-1765) was an English poet and Calvinist Baptist writer on religion.〔Michael Haykin, (The Celebrated Mrs Anne Dutton ), ''Evangelical Times'', April 2001 〕 She published around 50 titles and corresponded with George Whitefield and John Wesley. ==Life== Born in Northampton, she survived near-fatal childhood illness and was given a religious education. Aged 22 she married a Mr Coles, living in London and Warwick before being widowed five years later. She married again to Benjamin Dutton, a clothier who entered the ministry. They lived at Great Gransden, and paid for a chapel to be built there. In 1747 her husband travelled to America, to raise money, but she became a widow when his return ship was lost at sea. Dutton's ''Narration of the Wonders of Grace'' (1734) was a 1500-line poem in heroic couplets, complete with marginal references to Scripture, reviewing redemption history from the point of view of Calvinist Baptists. (A modern scholar has called it "execrable verse, interesting only as testimony to the mental tilt of a particular kind of zealot".〔) In her correspondence with Wesley she differed with him over the question of Election. Selections from her work were republished in six volumes in 2003-9.〔 Joann Ford Watson (ed.)
