She published two poetic miscellanies of poems: \u003ci\u003eThe Copy of a Letter \u003c\/i\u003e(1567) and \u003ci\u003eA Sweet Nosegay\u003c\/i\u003e (1573), which include her own work as well as a total of six poems by five different male authors. This edition of her writings prints modernized texts of the complete miscellanies and adds to them six poems attributed to Whitney by largely twentieth-century critics. These poems provide a rich portrait of sixteenth-century female courtship and its dangers, a unique view of class and gender in Whitney's lifetime, and a portrait of London as a burgeoning market of practical goods and luxury items from foodstuffs to imported silk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabella Whitney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1649590911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781649590916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Isabella Whitney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897344090367,"sku":"9781649590916","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6eba05e9-003a-45b4-ae7b-5cd5d06d9e0f.jpg?v=1721373711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poems-by-a-sixteenth-century-gentlewoman-isabella-whitney-9781649590916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
