Whitney's two volumes of verse miscellany, Sweet Nosegay (1573) and The Copy of a Letter (1567), were part of a literary trend of combining classical and Biblical references with vernacular sources. As well a selection of her original poetry, this volume includes Mary Sidney's version of the Psalms of David and Petrach's Triumph of Death.
I have a question about the book:
‘Renaissance Women Poets - Lanyer, Aemilia, Whitney, Isabella, Sidney, Mary’.
