Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum

Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum

by Aemilia Lanyer

This book by Aemilia Lanyer is more than just a retelling of the Passion of Christ. It is a spirited defense of Eve and all women, with elegant praises for her female patrons and a catalogue of virtuous women from the ancient world. It's the first "country house" poem written by a woman in English.
