Described by Colin Burrow as 'the richest surviving record of early
Tudor poetry and of the literary activities of 16th-century women,'
the Devonshire Manuscript (BL MS Add. 17492) is a verse miscellany
belonging to the 1530s and early 1540s, including some 194 items
including complete poems, verse fragments and excerpts from longer
works, anagrams, and other ephemeral jottings attributed to Thomas
Wyatt, Henry Howard Earl of Surrey, Lady Margaret Douglas, Richard
Hattfield, Mary Fitzroy (nee Howard), Thomas Howard, Edmund
Knyvett, Anthony Lee, and Henry Stewart, as well transcriptions of
the work of others or original works by prominent court figures
such as Mary Shelton, Lady Margaret Douglas, Mary (Howard) Fitzroy,
Lord Thomas Howard, and, possibly, Anne Boleyn. This edition
publishes the contents of the manuscript in their entirety,
documenting well the manuscript's place as the earliest sustained
example in English of men and women writing together in a
community.
