Elizabeth Melville, Lady Colville of Culross (fl. 1599–1631; d. c. 1640) is well known for her dream vision poem, Ane Godlie Dreame, but the attribution to her in 2002 of several thousand further lines of poetry in manuscript suggests that she was Scotland’s most prolific early modern woman writer, and one of the most significant women poets of the Scots and English Jacobean period. Melville was deeply embedded, throughout her life, in the spiritual and political communities of Scottish Presbyterianism, actively supporting the ministers who were imprisoned, exiled, or dispersed as James VI of Scotland reintroduced episcopalian governance to the Scottish kirk. Her dream vision poem, Ane Godlie Dreame, was a popular and influential example of the genre, printed at least fifteen times between 1603 and 1737; and several thousand lines of manuscript poetry attributed to her include psalm paraphrase, three original religious sonnet sequences, and multiple contrafacta or sacred parodies of secular love songs, as she expresses her personal longing for her “god most deir.”
