    Thank you for introducing Aemilia to me and all your viewers. I had never heard of her or her poetry until today. She was brave to write in defence of Eve and her poetry is proof of her intellectual abilities. She certainly was ahead of her times. 😊

    Wow, this was very fascinating. Thank you for introducing her. Before I finished watching this video I went and purchased it on Audible. I can't wait to listen to it. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you for this presentation! I never heard of Lanyer before today. Which says a lot about my education!

      Oh dear, not at all, you’re one of the most well read people I know!

    I’ve never heard of her before until today. A English professor was explaining that she was a black Jewish woman and possibly writer of Shakespeare’s work. She was also known as Shakespeare lover.

      oh yes I heard of the 'Shakespeare's lover' bit. There's a group biography recently called Shakespeare's Sisters that includes her. Maybe I should read it and find out!

    Thank you. A very clear presentation of Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum with respect to the Bible. Ironically, during the time of Queen Elizabeth I, the nascent Church of England was quite misogynistic, and Lanyer was responding to this. While a servant of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Nashe published the misogynistic work called "Anatomy of Absurdity containing a brief confutation of the slender imputed praises to feminine perfection" (1589). While a servant of the Lord Chamberlain, Nashe published his sanctimonious 'Christ's Tears over Jerusalem" (1593), writing the following twaddle: 'Women, as the pains of the devils shall be doubled that go about hourly tempting, and seeking whom they may devour, so except you soon lay hold on grace, your pains in hell (above men's) shall be doubled for millions you tempted, millions of men you devoured. Yo you, half your husband's damnation will be imputed". Under King James I, it was no better.

      Interesting, I didn’t know the quotes. Yes I imagined Lanyer was writing to argue against something. Thanks for sharing!

    Eve is awesome and has been unjustly framed. Carefully watch the VEVO original video of No Doubt's "Don't Speak". It is telling Eve "I know you're good, I know you're good, I know you're real good. Don't tell me 'cause it hurts!"

      lol I’ve never heard anyone describe Eve as ‘awesome’ before. Nice 👍
