POEMS 1686.....
These are the original, tender and thoughtful poems of a young female artist who lived and died in seventeenth century London -- only seventy years after William Shakespeare. Her diction is readily accessible to listeners after almost three hundred and fifty years. The subjects on her mind we can imagine on the minds of educated young women today. She writes often of love, broken hearts and the beauty of reason and self-control -- as if she knew the Age of Enlightenment was just around the corner.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY.....
Anne Killigrew (1660 - 1685) was an English poet. Born in London, Killigrew is perhaps best known as the subject of a famous elegy by the poet John Dryden entitled To The Pious Memory of the Accomplish'd Young Lady Mrs. Anne Killigrew (1686). She was however a skilful poet in her own right, and her Poems were published posthumously in 1686. Dryden compared her poetic abilities to the famous Greek poet of antiquity, Sappho. Killigrew died of smallpox aged twenty five.
