'Ephelia'

This facsimile edition reproduces the extant works of the seventeenth-century poet, 'Ephelia'. The identity of 'Ephelia' continues to be debated. In her Introductory Note, Maureen Mulvihill suggests that the most likely candidate is Mary Villiers, later Stuart, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox (1622-1685). The volume includes a reproduction of A Poem To His Sacred Majesty, On the Plot... (1678), Female Poems on several Occasions (1679) and Advice To His Grace ([1681]).
