Re-writing Patriarchy and Patronage: Margaret Clifford, Anne Clifford, and Aemilia Lanyer
This chapter focuses on texts by two noble ladies and a gentlewoman in decline in Jacobean England; and that limitation obviously precludes drawing general conclusions about women of other/even the same ranks in Jacobean society. Margaret Clifford and Aemilia Lanyer may comprise the first English example of female patron and literary client, and that relationship is at the centre of Lanyer’s volume of poems, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum, published in…
Donne's "Anniversaries" and the Poetry of Praise: The Creation of a Symbolic Mode
In his occasional poetry, and especially in his two elegaic Anniversary poems, Donne created a special symbolic mode in seventeenth-century poetry of praise and compliment. Barbara Kiefer Lewalski's reading of the Anniversary poems recognizes them as complex mixed-genre works which weld together formal, thematic, and structural elements from the occasional poem of praise, the funeral elegy, the funeral sermon, the hymn, the anatomy, and the Prote…

Milton and Idolatry
Noting Milton's frequent identification of himself as Ikonoklastes, idol-breaker, this essay traces his very broad concept of idolatry throughout his poetry and prose. While his Puritan contemporaries thought of idolatry chiefly as pagan or Roman Catholic practices that offer an affront to God, Milton saw idolatry as the disposition to attach divinity or special sanctity to any person, human institution, or material object, and early to late he s…

The polemics and Poems of Rachel Speght
Rachel Speght was the first Englishwoman to identify herself, unmistakably and by name, as a polemicist and critic of contemporary gender ideology. This edition includes her polemical foray into the Jacobean gender wars and her collected poems. Speght’s tract, A Mouzzell for Melastomus (1617), is at once a spirited answer to Joseph Swetnam’s attack on women and a serious effort to stake women’s claim to the prevailing Protestant discourse of bibl…

Writing Women and Reading the Renaissance
If there is anything that scholars in the Renaissance and scholars of the Renaissance (of whatever ideological persuasion) might be expected to share, it is delight in the recovery of texts worthy of attention as aesthetic objects and/or as significant documents for interpreting the period. Arguably such new texts—and especially texts and artworks by women—will constitute the most enduring element in our ongoing reconstruction of the Renaissance.…

Protestant Poetics and the Seventeenth-Century Religious Lyric

Samson Agonistes and the “Tragedy” of the Apocalypse
Milton's references in the preface to Samson Agonistes and in The Reason of Church Government to the Book of Revelation as tragedy have great significance for his drama. His cited authority, David Pareus, and several other Protestant commentators identified the Book of Revelation as tragedy on the basis of form (the alternation of dramatic episodes and Choruses) and subject—the spiritual combat of the Elect with Antichrist and their torment and s…
