Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, is the most important
Elizabethan woman writer and patron outside the royal family. By
astute use of the genres permitted to women, she supported the
Protestant cause, introduced continental literary genres, expanded
opportunities for later women writers, and influenced
seventeenth-century lyric and drama by such writers as John Donne,
George Herbert, Mary Wroth, and William Shakespeare. This scholarly
edition in two volumes is the first to include all her extant
works: Volume I prints her three original poems, the disputed
`Dolefull Lay of Clorinda', her translations from Petrarch, Mornay,
and Garnier, and all her known letters. Volume II contains her
metrical paraphrases of Psalms 44-150. The edition also provides a
biographical introduction, discussion of her sources and methods of
composition, textual annotation, and a detailed commentary.
