In this episode, they delve into the remarkable life and work of Anne Dowriche, (née Edgecombe), an often-overlooked Elizabethan poet and writer. Discover how Dowriche, a clergy wife from a country gentry background, broke barriers by publishing an epic poem, The French Historie, in 1589, a time when female authorship was rare.
Dr. Paul shares her insights into Dowriche's influences, from classical texts to the political climate of the late 16th century, including the turbulent religious conflicts in France and England. Explore how Dowriche's work reflects the complex intersections of religion, politics, and literature during the Tudor era, and learn about the hidden networks that might have supported her groundbreaking publication.
