Om Poems by a Sixteenth-Century Gentlewoman, Maid, and Servant

"Isabella Whitney published two poetic miscellanies of secular poems: The Copy of a Letter (1567) and A Sweet Nosegay (1573), each of which includes her own work and a total of six poems by five different male authors across both publications.
