An Collins' Divine Songs and Meditacions were first printed in a
small octavo volume in London in 1653. The only extant copy is
presently held at The Huntington Library and it is, therefore, this
copy that is reproduced in this facsimile edition. It is an
important text because it is one of the earliest volumes of
collected poems by an English woman in the seventeenth century. The
poems are especially intriguing because of the glimpses they
provide into the life and mind of a woman writer during this period
and because of the social, political, historical and religious
contexts in which they are embedded. The precise identity of An
Collins' remains a mystery, and scholars have had to rely on the
Divine Songs and Meditacions for most of their understanding of its
author, often drawing very different conclusions about her
religious, social and political beliefs. To date critics have
focused on the biographical and historical interest of the poems,
but as Robert Evans highlights in his Introductory Note to the
volume, these works also exhibit a rhetorical power and skill that
merits further attention.
