Paperback / softback
Description
In 1611 Emilia Bassano penned these words to her `Vertuous Reader', as part of a volume of radical, feminist and subversive poetry.
It was one of the first published collections of poetry written by a woman in England.
The little we know of Emilia Bassano is restricted to the possibility that she may have been the `Dark Lady' of Shakespeare's Sonnets - and the rest of HerStory has been erased by History. Commissioned specifically for Shakespeare's Globe, and with an all-female cast, this world premiere will reveal the life of Emilia: poet, mother and feminist.
This time, the focus will be on this exceptional woman who managed to outlive all the men the history books tethered her to.
