Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Reading this edition reminds me how excellent a poet Anne Killigrew was. Hers is a voice that is well worth hearing, and this edition presents it marvelously. It is unique on the market, for no other modernized edition of Killigrew’s poetry is currently available. The novice and scholarly reader alike will find this volume useful for understanding this poet and her age." * Jeremy W. Webster, Ohio University *
