Abstract

Anne Vavasour, probable author of “Sittinge alone upon my thought” and “Thoughe I seeme straunge,” was also a gentlewoman of the bedchamber for Elizabeth I. Most scholars confidently attribute at least one if not both poems to Vavasour. The continuing consideration of her authorship exemplifies questions and issues that arise when examining putatively female-authored works from the early modern period for which there is a lack of traditional archival evidence. Ultimately, the poems associated with her life highlight important issues and ideas regarding early modern women and creative self-expression.
