Kissing the Rod: An Anthology of 17th-Century Women's Verse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is worth five stars because of the extent to which the editor's sought to present the works of a great number of 17th century female poets. I enjoyed reading the poems presented, as well as the commentary and brief biographies. The poems presented in this book demonstrate that women in the 17th century were equally as passionate and brilliant as their male counterparts, which is another reason that I give this book five stars. This book is a must read to anyone who has read poetry of the 17th century and found that "only" men engaged in such a thing. I found the poetry collected in this volume to be inspiring for it's wit, charm, humor, grace, and beauty.
