6. "Gender And Genre In The Sonnet Sequences Of Philip Sidney And Mary Wroth" By Je
   A scholarly essay from Deep South .  
   http://www.otago.ac.nz/DeepSouth/vol2no1/laws.html
   
   Extractions: Deep South v.2 n.1 (Autumn, 1996) Deep South, Department of English, University of Otago, P. O. Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand. A version of this paper was read at the ANZAMRS Conference in Brisbane, January 29/February 2 1996. But Stella does not just live in the mind of Astrophil. Gradually we gain a sense of her as an individual being in her own right. Circumstantial details enable us to picture her in action: as we have seen, in 59 she plays with her dog; and at other times she attends tournaments (41 and 53), or reads aloud Astrophil's poetry (57 and 58). And she is given a historical reality. This in itself is not unusual for a sonnet lady Petrarch's Laura was supposedly an actual woman. But Sidney goes out of his way to connect Stella with Penelope Rich: he puns on the name "Rich" in Sonnet 24; the point is driven home in 35; and in 37, the name "Rich" is spat out six times. It is, however, in the latter part of the sequence that Stella becomes most fully realised as we hear her own words. The importance of this lies not just in the fact that she speaks at all, but, as Thomas Roche has pointed out, in what she says. And what she says is that she loves Astrophil a most extraordinary turnaround for a sonnet lady. We first learn of this in Sonnet 62 in which Astrophil reports her saying "That love she did" and then we hear this sentiment from her own lips in Song 8:

9. Lady Mary Wroth
   By Arnie Sanders of Goucher College. Provides an overview of The Countess of Montgomery's Urania and Pamphilia to Amphialanthus, as well as a set of research questions.  
   http://faculty.goucher.edu/eng211/lady_mary_wroth.htm
   
   Extractions: Lady Mary Wroth, "The Countess of Montgomery's Urania" and "Pamphilia to Amphialanthus" Genre: a pastoral romance containing significant allusions to contemporary court scandals; a sonnet sequence of 103 sonnets and songs. Form: prose with inset songs, including sonnets of the "English" form, and a song in trochaic tetrameter (trochees are reversed iambs [Da-dum, rather than da-Dum], and tetrameter; "PtoA" contains sonnets and songs with wildly varying rhyme schemes. Characters and Summary: The foundling shepherdess, Urania , laments her ignorance of her parents (she's the daughter of the King of Naples, natch!), and in typical pastoral fashion, she and the shepherds sing and dance their way to a resolution of that problem; "All-loving" Pam-philia protests the perfidy of her lover with dual affections, Am-phialanthus , and the accused one responds, both speaking in sonnets. Issues and Research Sources: Though Wroth is the young neice of Mary Herbert, she writes in genres that are already becoming passe in the Jacobean courtsonnet sequences, the pastoral romance, etc. How might you explain her sense of poetic kinship with Sir Philip Sidney or Edmund Spenser, two poets who lived before her and also wrote in those two genres? How does her treatment of the matter in these forms set up some challenges to the older sonnet sequences and pastorals we have seen?

    Extractions: Lady Mary spent a happy childhood growing up at Penshurst, the family estate. She was educated by tutors under her mother's supervision. Being born into an aristocratic family afforded her the privilege of education during an era when an estimated 90 percent of Englishwomen were illiterate. However, patriarchal tenants prescribed that "[t]he education of daughters was seen primarily as an education in virtue and in good 'huswifery' " (Walker 40). In her essay "Feminine Identity in Urania," Carolyn Swift points out that although Lady Mary was encouraged in pursuing her creative and artistic talents, she also must have been aware of the inequities between her education and that of her brothers. Sir Robert Sidney secured books for his daughter to read, but "he believed that a formal education was important only for boys" (160), stating his resolve in a letter to his wife: For the girls I kan not mislike the care you take of them: but for the boies you must resolve to let me have my wil. For I know better what belongs to a man than you do. Indeed I wil have him ly from his maide, for it is time, and now no more to bee in the nurcery among wemen. I wil not stick to give the schoolmaster whom you speak of 20 [pounds] a yeare, if I kan heare of his sufficiency. But then wil I have the boy delivered to his charge onely, and not to have him when he is to teach him, to be troubled with the women. (160) In keeping with the Renaissance tradition of arranging marriages for financial reasons, Lady Mary wed Sir Robert Wroth at Penshurst in September of 1604. Wroth had been knighted in 1603, and rose quickly in King James' favor due to his expert hunting skills. The Wroth marriage was unhappy from the start, with evidence of their trouble found in a letter written by Sir Robert Sidney to his wife:

    Extractions: Biographical Introduction Lady Mary Wroth was born Mary Sidney, on October 18, 1587, into a family connected to the royal courts of Elizabeth I and James I. She was the daughter of Sir Robert Sidney, later Earl of Leicester, and Lady Barbara Gamage. She is best known as the first English woman to write a full-length prose romance and a sonnet sequence, departing from traditional "women's" genres such as epitaph and translation. Her work helped to open up the English literary world to women, and allowed female writers to move beyond pious subject matter (Beilin 212). Like other girls of her day, Wroth did not attend school. But unlike most, she was taught at home by private tutors. Her mother was known as a patron of the arts, and in 1973 a previously unknown manuscript containing 66 poems written by her father was discovered. Wroth was also heavily influenced by her father's literary siblings. Her uncle, Sir Philip Sidney, was famous as a soldier, statesman and poet, and her aunt, Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke, both composed her own and revised and edited her brother's works. In contrast to Mary Wroth's literary family, her husband, Sir Robert Wroth, whom she married in 1604, had little to do with the arts. He preferred hunting and the life of the court. Husband and wife often clashed, though as much as Wroth grew to detest Sir Robert, his friendship with the King brought her into a close contact with Queen Anne (Roberts, Dictionary of Literary Biography 121: 297). She performed with the Queen in court masques early in James' reign, including Ben Jonson's Masque of Blackness, in January of 1605. Jonson even dedicated The Alchemist (1612) to Wroth.
