Episode description
Writing in the same period as Western canonical greats like Shakespeare, Donne, and Jonson, Aemelia Lanyer was consistently overlooked by her contemporaries and forgotten by later critics and scholars. Lanyer responded to this forced obscurity with an audacious, rebellious indictment of the treatment of women in Early Modern English society - and changed the landscape of English literature in the doing.
