Wroth, Mary
摘要
This entry discusses the work of Mary Wroth (née Sidney) (1587–1651) in relationship to her family history of literary humanism, her original contributions to romance (The Countess of Montgomery’s Urania), the sonnet sequence (Pamphilia to Amphilanthus), and pastoral drama (Loves Victory), her often hyperbolic use of the deciphering imperative associated with political pastoral, and her promotion of women’s constancy, including her own, as a cornerstone of literary imagination and political commitment.
