Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume brings together two of the earliest women writers. Elizabeth Cary's (1585-1639) "The Tragedie of Mariam" is one of the first in English known to be the work of a woman writer. Aemilia Lanyer (1569-1645) wrote the strongly feminist "Salve Deus Rex Judaorum" which was published in 1611.
