homosexual's review against another edition
4.0
My Booktube
I am only reviewing Mary Wroth's section since that is what I bought this edition for.
While I think the idea of over 100 pages being basically just love poetry CAN get repetitive, I think the focus should be on how as a woman, Pamphilia is going on and on about how unfair love is and how she hates it. There are also at least two poems that mention men are allowed to be "unconstant" and like another reviewer said it is interesting since being "Constant" is usually a trait put on women, not men. There were some BEAUTIFUL lines here and after my poetry class just the skill some of these poems had was also incredible.
I will reread in the future since I did read most of this in one sitting.
