  Lanyer, Aemilia Criticism and Essays
Lanyer attributed her literary endeavors and the religious nature of her subject matter to the behest of the countess, whose patronage may have made it possible for Salve deus to be published in 1611.
Aside from a brief record noting Lanyer's unsuccessful attempt to establish a school for young women in 1617 and a court petition indicating her involvement in financial litigation in 1635, little else is known of her life between the publication of Salve deus and her death in 1645 at age seventy-six.
Central to Lanyer's fusion of biblical history with an ideal contemporary society is her admonition of Clifford and other contemporary noble women to prepare to assume honored positions as brides of Christ.

Lanier was probably born in Greenwich and first taught by his father, who played the sackbut.
Emilia Lanier or Aemilia Lanyer, (1569-1645) was the first Englishwoman to assert herself as a professional poet through her single volume of poems, ''Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum'' (1611).
Born Aemilia Bassano, Lanyer was a member of the minor gentry through her father's appointment as a royal musician, and was apparently educated in the household of the dowager Countess of Kent.

 "Writing in service: sexual politics and class position in the poetry of Aemilia Lanyer and Ben Jonson". by Ann Baynes ...
Lanyer was the daughter of an Italian musician, Baptista Bassani, who had come to England in the mid-sixteenth century to serve as paid amusement and polish in the rather rough-around-the-edges Tudor court and had married an Englishwoman named Margaret Johnson.
Lanyer herself makes clear that Elizabeth read her poetry and was generous in her patronage, but Alfonso Lanyer lost all her money in a series of foolish investments.
Lanyer's Cooke-ham, on the other hand, is a desolate place; this country-house poem is a poem of loss, the poet figure left behind in a ruptured Eden to memorialize paradise lost.

 Ameilia Lanyer "SDRJ"
Plot Summary: Lanyer engages her powerful aristocratic women-patrons in a dialogue about women's historical reputation and capacity for creative excellence that reaches from Genesis to her own recent farewell to the estate (Cookham or "Cooke-ham") where she learned to think of herself as a poet with world-class aspirations.
Their generosity and protection rescued Lanyer's avid, curious, sensitive mind from a difficult life serving as wife to a minor courtier in a loveless marriage.
In doing this, Lanyer unites within the entire poem’s focus her patron’s embattled defense of her daughter’s inheritance rights, the defense of Jesus from false accusations and betrayal, and the "Ur-betrayal" of Eve by Satan.

Emilia was a client of Simon Forman, she consulted him for astrological predictions in the same way that Elizabeth I consulted Dr Dee.
Despite an enormous age difference Emilia became Hunsdon's mistress until 1592 when she became pregnant, she was hurriedly married off to poor old Alphonso Lanier.

 Dedicated to Carol Middleton, Bassano and Lanier Genealogist
This was the year of publication of Emilia Bassano's book: the coincidence is too striking to not take this disc as an illustration of her biography, especially as compositions by the Bassanos are included.
Moreover, Emilia does not hesitate to reinterpret the Scriptures in her own way: the principal subject is a meditation on the Passion of Christ, attributing the responsibiblity for the Crucifixion to men alone.
Emilia's mother, as we know, was named Margaret Johnson: she was the aunt of Robert Johnson, lutenist and composer, musician for Shakespeare's theater company.

 Shakespeare In Love
I cannot tell you exactly when I met Emilia, but it was early on, while she was still the mistress of a patron.
Later, she would be given to a man named Lanier as a wife, to make things "right.".
But Emilia, in her jealousy and her desire to get herself back into a place of favor, since she had no wealthy patron anymore, put herself between the two of us all too well.

 In Search of Shakespeare . Scandalous sonnets | PBS
"Romeo and Juliet"Ten years after most of them were written, Shakespeare publishes "Shakespeares Sonnets," many of which refer to his passion for the "Beautiful Boy" (probably William Herbert) and the "Dark Lady" (probably Emilia Lanier), and the love/sex triangle that seems to have involved them all.
Later, Victorian censors would be horrified by the apparent homosexual undercurrent of the sonnets to Herbert, while twentieth-century feminists railed against Shakespeare's depiction of the Dark Lady as a feral, predatory sexual being.
The Dark Lady herself, Emilia Lanier, would produce her own religious poems with a preface condemning the abuse of women.

 EP&M Review
Her work was not lost, but has been released in a complete poems from several publishers, including Oxford.
Lanier's birth name was Emilia Bassano; her married name came from Alphonso Lanier, a court musician to Elizabeth I. The late playwright Tennessee Lanier Williams counted this couple (and Sidney Lanier) as distant cousins on his mother's side.
Lanier skillfully, and with the logical precision Elizabethans were noted for, used the myth itself to demonstrate that if it's followed precept and detail then men, by their dominant position in the story of Adam and Eve, were responsible for the Fall.

 Shakespeare's Sonnets FAQ
Thus, she has come to be known as the "Dark Lady".
There are scholars who believe that the Dark Lady could be one of three historical women: Mary Fitton, a lady in waiting to Queen Elizabeth; Lucy Morgan, a brothel owner and former maid to Queen Elizabeth; and Emilia Lanier, the mistress of Lord Hunsdon, patron of the arts.
Some also consider William Davenant's mother to be the Dark Lady, but only because Davenant claimed to be Shakespeare's illegitimate son.

 Milton Review [2]: Milton Re-viewed: Ten Essays
Milton may very well be sly in his epigraphs, as he was in that satirical Greek poem that criticised the artist who did the bad portrait to be found directly above the Greek poem in the frontispiece of the 1645 Poems.
Though Le Comte doesn't quite settle the issue of the two-handed engine (he has published at least three articles on the subject), he does make a suggestion that the "Emilia" that J.S. Smart found buried in the geography of Milton's Italian sonnets might be someone named "Emilia Varco" (97).
Le Comte bases the speculation, which is better than A.L. Rowse's probably spurious identification of Shakespeare's Dark Lady as the poet Emilia Lanier (now generally printed as Aemilia Lanyer), on Milton's use of the Italian phrase "nobil varco," and his attraction for the sonnets of the Florentine Benedetto Varchi.

 GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Shakespeare's Sonnets Study Guide - Character List
Unlike in the cases of the fair lord and the rival poet, the question of the true identity of the dark lady — if there be one — has spawned a far wider cast of candidates.
Another possibility is the poet Emilia Lanier, who was the mistress of one of Shakespeare’s patrons.
Lanier, of Italian descent, was described as having dark features; her father having been a musician, it is also conceivable that she had some musical talent, which would align her well with the instrument-playing dark lady of sonnet 128.

 Shakespeare-Oxford Society » Three Book Reviews - Bloom, Wells, and Dobson & Wells
The book is filled with dozens of the customary photographs and color plates that appear in any decent coffee table biography, but it is Wells’ personal recollections and observations that make this one different, and a little more entertaining.
For instance, he mentions a radio broad-cast during which he pointed out to A. Rowse, champion of Emilia Lanier as the Dark Lady, that he had misread the word “brave” as “brown” in Simon Forman’s description of her, thus sup-posedly vitiating the only evidence that she was dark.
Other changes that had the “weight of rational thought” behind them were the replacement of several traditional play names (Henry VI, Parts 2 and 3, Henry VIII, etc.) by their alleged earlier titles, and the addition of Thomas Middleton as co-author of Timon of Athens and Macbeth.
