This booklet is the 1st to survey either in an built-in model. Its texts include quite a lot of canonical and non-canonical writing -- together with a few new and critical discoveries. The texts are prepared in order that writing by way of men and women is gifted jointly, no longer in a "point-counterpoint" approach that may "square off" male and female writers opposed to each other, yet quite in pairs, occasionally clusters, of texts within which women's writing is foregrounded at the same time it seems that with writing through men.

The anthology arranges lately recovered texts into interesting styles, juxtaposing, for instance, Aemelia Lanyer's state condo poem with an expression of a unique form of nostalgia by means of Surrey. It contains unconventional voices, as within the homoerotic poems by means of Richard Barnfield or the potentially lesbian poems through Katherine Philips. It makes newly on hand the voices of English Marrano girls (secret Jews) and the Miltonic poetry of Jean Lead.
