Intentionally ignored by her contemporaries and largely forgotten by history, Aemelia Lanyer demonstrates the invisible influence that women, minorities, and the disenfranchised have been dealing with for centuries. While history remembers little of Lanyer, you can find evidence of her groundbreaking influence in the work of her fellow artists. Lanyer's wit, intelligence, and proto-feminist leanings mirror similar developments in the work of others - and might have even set the stage for William Shakespeare's greatest plays. * Official Canon Fire Website: www.canonfirepodcast.com/ Banner designed by Brittany Baril.
