"Poems" by Anne Killigrew is a collection of poetry written in the late 17th century. The work serves as a testament to Killigrew's talents as both a poet and a painter, capturing the essence of life in the Restoration court. This collection encompasses themes of virtue, beauty, love, and the human condition, reflecting on her experiences and the societal context of her era. The opening of "Poems" introduces readers to the compelling tribute that John Dryden wrote in honor of Killigrew's work, emphasizing her unique combination of beauty and wit. It provides a brief overview of Killigrew's life, her connection to the court, and the impact of her poetry, which, while not widely recognized today, merits serious examination. The introduction sets the stage for a collection that delves into personal reflections on life, morality, and art, inviting readers to explore the profound insights of a prominent yet overlooked figure in literature.
