Turning to the composition of Latin poems as a means of seeking financial support for herself and her family after Kelley's disgrace and death, Weston became widely celebrated as the 'Virgo Angla' and was held in high esteem in the international republic of letters of her time. This collection of poems and letters written by her, to her, and, occasionally, about her, sheds new light on the possibilities of artistic self-representation available to women at the end of the sixteenth century. The core of the edition (which contains the Latin text along with a facing-page English translation) is Weston's Parthenica (c. 1608), supplemented by a wide range of individual poems found in various European libraries.The editors have identified proper names and allusions where possible, while leaving to others the task of evaluating Weston's achievement.Readers of this edition will be fascinated by the evidence of a woman whose orphaned state seems to have enabled her to write freely and to be praised and published to a degree denied women under the tutelage of father or husband. This edition should be an indispensable part of the growing library of women writers in the early modern period.Winner of the Josephine Roberts Award, presented by the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women 606 $aPoets, Latin (Medieval and modern)$zCzech Republic$vCorrespondence 606 $aPoets, Latin (Medieval and modern)$zGreat Britain$vCorrespondence 607 $aPrague (Czech Republic)$xIntellectual life 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPoets, Latin (Medieval and modern) 615 0$aPoets, Latin (Medieval and modern) 676 $a871/.04 700 $aWeston$b Elizabeth Jane, $01030552 702 $aCheney$b Donald$f1932- 702 $aHosington$b Brenda 702 $aMoney$b D.
