Ideal for readers interested in Renaissance literature, women's studies, poetry, and cultural history, this collection appeals to those seeking to discover lesser-known voices and perspectives that enrich the understanding of the period.
Despite Renaissance expectations for women to be chaste, silent and obedient, many female poets of the era defied social norms to create works addressing motherhood, love, and personal experience that remain remarkably relevant to modern readers. This anthology presents their diverse poetry collection for the first time.

Description
Although women of the Renaissance were expected to be chaste, silent and obedient, many women poets risked the disapproval of their own society and transcended the strictures of contemporary female behaviour in words that still resonate today. Their meditations on the danger and sufferings of motherhood and their descriptions of the vagaries of love, while couched in the formal style of Renaissance poetry, often appear startlingly close to modern experience.
As a consequence, the range of poetry produced by Renaissance women is remarkably broad. In Women Poets of the Renaissance, the poetry of these women is collected for the first time in an anthology that offers the twentieth-century reader a fresh and unique approach to literature of the period.
