Social convention may have prevented Renaissance women writers from openly taking part in the political and religious debates of their day, but they found varied and innovative ways to intervene. Sidney produced potent translations of Petrarch's works and the Psalms, as well as original verse. Collecting the work of three great poets-Isabella Whitney, Mary Sidney, and Aemilia Lanyer-this volume repositions women writers of the Renaissance by presenting their poems in the context of their history and culture.Whitney's poems offer the only glimpse into her life, express a concern for women's lack of social and economic power, and powerfully evoke sixteenth-century London.
The strong and original voices of these three women-each from different social, Lanyer wrote poems that advocate and praise female virtue and Christian piety, but reflect a desire for an idealized, classless world.
