Lady Anne Southwell

4.9/5 (28520 ratings)

Description:"This edition of Folger MS. V.b.198 is titled The Southwell-Sibthorpe Commonplace Book with the name 'Southwell' first because the manuscript is predominantly made up of 'The workes of the Lady Ann Sothwell' (fol. 1r), née Harris, who was born in 1573, married Thomas Southwell in 1593 and, after his death in 1626, Captain Henry Sibthorpe. She died in 1636. The name 'Sibthorpe' is joined to that of 'Southwell' because he not only gave Lady Anne the folios at the time of their wedding and composed at least two entries (probably fol. 27 and certainly most of fols. 73 and 74), but also critiqued the poetry of the woman he praised so effusively. The last phrase of the title, 'commonplace book,' indicates that the collection of poems, letters, aphorisms, inventories, a mini-bestiary, scriptural commentary, and receipts resembles similar collections of the early seventeenth century, called commonplace books, which gentlemen frequently kept. Because Folger MS. V.b.198 contains memorabilia significant for both Lady Anne Southwell and Captain Henry Sibthorpe and illustrates interaction between husband and wife in the making of the volume, the result offers a unique example of the genre." --We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
