Informationen zum Autor Isabella Whitney Klappentext This volume repositions women writers of the Renaissance by presenting their poems in the context of their history and culture. The strong and original voices of these three women----Isabella Whitney! Mary Sidney! and Aemilia Lanyer--demonstrate the emergence of a new female identity during the Renaissance and broaden the common notions of English Literature's golden age. Zusammenfassung 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 vernacular sources. As well a selection of her original poetry, this volume includes Mary Sidney's version of the Psalms of David and Petrach's "Triumph of Death".
