Lady Mary Wroth's literary contributions include the first sonnet sequence by a woman and significant plays and prose romances, yet she faced court disgrace for her work. Naomi Miller's study highlights Wroth's importance, employing diverse critical perspectives to explore gender dynamics of her era. Rather than focusing solely on her connections to male predecessors, Miller examines Wroth's interactions with a wide range of authors and contextualizes her writing within contemporary political and domestic texts. This analysis reveals insights into early modern gender relations through Wroth's works.
