Description:The first woman in Scotland to have her poetry appear in print - Elizabeth Melville's most famous poem, Ane Godlie Dreame (1603) was recognised in her day as the work of a unique talent. The long visionary poem is now celebrated around the world by academics and historians of women's writing; Germaine Greer opened her polemical anthology of seventeenth century women's writing, Kissing the Rod (1988), with selected extracts from the work. Alongside the Dreame, Melville's complete published works are printed in this collection. But more than half of the poems in the book are unknown - recently discovered in manuscript and identified as Melville's work by Dr Jamie Reid Baxter - long-lost renaissance sonnet sequences, song lyrics and longer works are printed here for the first time. An afterword and notes by the editor provide a context for this large-scale reassessment of her output and achievement.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
