Anne Southwell, Lady Southwell 1574-1636
Biographical Note
Daughter of Sir Thomas Harris, married Sir Thomas Southwell, and after his death in 1626, Captain Henry Sibthorpe. Best known as an author and poet, her extant writings, preserved in the Southwell-Sibthorpe commonplace book, illustrate a knowledge of theology and literature, a familiarity with court circles, and proto-feminist views such as that of a husband and wife’s ‘mutuality in marriage’.
Books
Her commonplace book, is now Folger MS V.b.198. In 1631, she moved three trunkfuls of books to her new household.
