Book of poems: Aemilia Lanyer ( 1545-1645) was the first woman poet in England who sought status as a professional writer; her poems are dedicated entirely to women patrons. This collection features a long poem on Christ's passion, told from a woman's point of view, as well as the first country house poem published in England.
Whitney's two volumes of verse miscellany, 'Sweet Nosegay' (1573) and 'The Copy of a Letter' (1567), were part of a literary trend of combining classical and Biblical references with popular and vernacular sources, and reflect the growing literary appetites of the urban population. As well a selection of her original poetry, this volume includes Sidney's version of the Psalms of David and Petrach's 'Triumph of Death'. Lanyer's poetry is devotional and is the most single-minded and explicit inits advocacy of female spirituality and virtue. Included here are 'Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum' and 'The Description of Cooke-ham'.
