Aemilia Bassano Lanyer sought public fame as a poet in 1611, at the height of the largely misogynistic reign of James I. This book situates her life and work among those major poets of Elizabethan and Jacobean England with whom she may have had some contact, such as Spenser, Shakespeare, Jonson, and Donne, and who represent the context for her own unique voice.
