The only reliable clues available about Anne Wheathill's life are
those contained in her work, published in 1584. She describes
herself as a gentlewoman, unmarried and a Protestant. She also
refers to herself as poor and it has been suggested that she was
one of a handful of women in Elizabeth I's reign who attempted to
earn money by writing. A handfull of holesome (though homelie)
hearbs is an example of the English Reformer's efforts to revise
the Roman Catholic primers and Books of Hours to satisfy the
private devotional needs of a Protestant middle class. Although
Anne Wheathill apologises for her inexperience and lack of learned
counsel, her text requires no apology for reprinting in this
facsimile edition. It is the work of someone who has mastered the
cadence of the best English religious prose of her age.
