Woolf concluded that any glimmer of female creativity in Shakespeare’s time would have been expunged by a pinched life as a breeding machine of children who so often died, disallowed opinions of her own. Had any woman survived these conditions, wrote Woolf, “whatever she had written would have been twisted and deformed, issued from a strained and morbid imagination.”

Wrong, says the Renaissance scholar Ramie Targoff in “Shakespeare’s Sisters,” her fascinating excavation of four intellectual powerhouse women of the 16th and early 17th centuries. Woolf had just not dug deep enough to find Mary Sidney’s sublime translations, Aemilia Lanyer’s groundbreaking poems or Elizabeth Cary’s subversive dramas. She dismissed the fourth, the great diarist Anne Clifford, as “trivial,” says Targoff — a view not shared by Anne’s distant relative Vita Sackville-West when she discovered and lovingly edited the diaries in 1923.

When he left for two years to fight in Protestant wars in the Netherlands, his mother hired someone to write letters to him in Elizabeth’s name in case her husband found her obvious intelligence repellent.

me when ive ordered myself a lil smth in the mail and i have smth to look forward to

#three tragedies by renaissance women writers (1999) featuring elizabeth cary jane lumley and mary sidney #it hasnt even shipped yet but listen. im so happy #its hardcover! #when i get it im gonna kiss it. but probably not bc it's a book my own age i bet it has a lot of germs on it #tales from diana #i mean who cleans their books? #like not just wipe the dust off em but disinfects em? nobody #youll ruin them lol theyre just made of paper silly #altho this book being printed in the year i was born has me wondering what the ratio of books i have is #between books printed before i was born and books printed after #bc most of my books are used! and lord i know a lot of that means theyre older than me #but also. not all old books are from like the 1980s or before. ive honestly never known #plus i do have still a fair number of books i bought new to rule out #idk. i wonder. ill have to count sometime but. you know what. it'd probably take at least an entire day. lol #im in desperate need to just organize my books by SOMETHING (since they well overflow the shelf) #im in no shape to run that survey any time soon

"The fairest action of our human life, Is scorning to revenge an injury; For who forgives without a further strife, His adversary's heart to him doth tie. And 'tis a firmer conquest truly said, To win the heart, than overthrow the head."

fun fact which is actually not fun at all but incredibly sad: this was most earnest attempt cary grant ever made to salvage love. he wanted it to work so bad. he wanted her for so much more than her money and no one in her life did. he also loved her kid to death and he wanted one with her so bad. they made jokes about how good ol’ cheap cary was with her for her money but when they got divorced he told her he wanted nothing. he ended this as the most defeated man in the world 

#misc. #this marriage kills me #also i'm always like ten minutes away from giving a power point presentation on cary grant's five marriages #how scandalous of him #everyone talks about how many marriages elizabeth taylor had but i don't think they talk abt him enough #i'm providing a feminist balance here

can i just say. cary elwes as guildford dudley in lady jane (1986) was some pretty on point casting especially since historically speaking guildford is robert's younger brother, and if you put it side by side with joseph fiennes as robert it's just. woah
