Lady Mary Wroth
(4,75 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)
Pamphilia to Amphilanthus is the first sonnet sequence written by an Englishwoman. Published in 1621, the poems invert the usual format of sonnet sequences by making the speaker a woman (Pamphilia, whose name means "all-loving") and the beloved a man (Amphilanthus, whose name means "lover of two."). It is possible that Wroth based the story on her own fraught relationship with her cousin, William Herbert. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett.) (1 hr 43 min)

Great reading of a pretty great sonnet sequence! Lady Mary Wroth has a talent for soaring poetry when one is listening to it. Ms. Klett does a great job with the work.
