It is known that she served the Howard family (Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk) in some capacity. Her level of education has been described as 'amazing' for a woman who was outside of the aristocracy and possibly a middle-class servant. Her translation (published 1579 or 1580) of Diego OrtA?ºn]ez de Calahorra's romance, Espejo de principes y cavalleros, Part I, from the original Spanish, marks not only a notable moment in book history but also the beginning of the popularity and availability of continental romance in England. Tyler was the first woman to publish a romance in England and the first English translator to work from the original Spanish. Because of the negative association of women with romance (considered a masculine domain) and the general cultural restrictions on female authorship, Tyler's bold defence of her translation in the dedication and preface is remarkable, and as it is the earliest Englishwoman's defence of women's literary work, it has sometimes earned her the title of the first English feminist. 410 0$aEarly modern Englishwoman.$pPrinted writings, 1500-1640.$nPart 1 ;$vVolume 8. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700 615 0$aEnglish literature 676 $a820.80928709031 700 $aOrtunez de Calahorra$b Diego.$0439969 701 $aCoad$b Kathryn$01025126 701 $aTyler$b Margaret$factive 1580.$01025127 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154993903321 996 $aMargaret Tyler$92437038 997 $aUNINA
