Perhaps most renowned for Pamphilia to Amphilanthus, the first sonnet sequence of the Renaissance to be written and voiced by a woman, Wroth presented a highly innovative and unique style in her writing. Lady Mary Wroth wrote during a rich literary period in English history, yet her work was not widely published until years after her death. The speaker of the poem does not come to a conclusion, which potentially speaks volumes about the authors own thoughts about love. The sonnet feels seamless, which can be attributed to the transitions from one idea to the next along with the choice in language. Surprisingly, the poem does not use literary elements like alliteration and assonance to make the poem interesting, instead it harnesses repetition and rhyme to compel the readers. The poem itself addresses love and the many roads it can lead to, and not many of them are truly desirable.
This sonnet follows the Shakespearian formula rigidly and uses it quite effectively, though it isn’t just a sonnet. Wroth had a particular writing style that appears within this poem.
