Aemilia Lanyer was a Londoner of Jewish-Italian descent and the mistress of Queen Elizabeth's Lord Chamberlain. But in 1611 she did something extraordinary for a middle-class woman of the seventeenth century: she published a volume of original poems. The essays in this volume establish the facts of Lanyer's life and use her poetry to interrogate that of her male contemporaries.
