Grief and Women Writers in the English Renaissance anatomizes the
era's powerful but troubling links between the forgettable dead and
the living mourners who are implicated in the same oblivion. Four
major women writers from 1570 to 1670 construct these difficult
bonds between the spectral dead and the liminal mourner. Mary
Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, reinvents the controversial
substitutions of aristocratic funerals . New Protestant ideologies
of the sainted dead connect devotional mourning and patronage in
Aemelia Lanyer's writing. Mary Wroth's verse enacts a uniquely
exalted, imaginative melancholy in which Jacobean subjects dissolve
into their mourning artifacts. Among the precarious political
mourners of the later half of the period, Katherine Philips's lyric
verse plays the shell game of private grief. Forgetting, being
forgotten, and being dead are risks that the dead and the living
ironically share in these central texts by the English
Renaissance's most illustrious women writers.
