    Abstract

    Early Modern Women’s Complaint Poetry Index is a first and last line index of female-authored complaint poetry in English and Scots from the period 1530 to 1680. It presents the data set from a wider project exploring, for the first time, how early modern women used the poetry of complaint for expressions of love, loss and protest. How did early modern women engage with the many forms of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century complaint poetry? What kinds of complaint poems did they write, and what roles did they assume? Bringing together bibliographic information and data about the content of the poems, this index invites users to explore the rich world of complaint poetry written, translated, voiced, transcribed and compiled by Anglophone early modern women.
