| This article explores the way in which Lady Mary Wroth used multiple levels of literary allusion and familial allegory in her play, "Love's Victory". Through a close analysis of the text, the identities of two generations within the Sidney family are disclosed. In addition, the diverse indebtedness of Wroth's writing is uncovered, from her immediate relatives, to the tradition of pastoral tragi-comedy, which flourished in England in the early sixteenth century. These references suggest a date of composition for the play between 1615 and 1618. However, while Wroth's words imply that the "riddles" of identity may be discovered, at the same time she constantly postpones any final or fixed meaning. | |
