Resumen

Este artículo analiza The History of the Seven Wise Mistrisses of Rome, atribuido a Thomas Howard, y tradicionalmente infravalorado por la crítica e historia literarias como una simple imitación de Los siete sabios de Roma, a pesar de su enorme éxito. Las dos primeras partes examinan la relación literaria y editorial con el texto fuente, y la epístola inicial de Howard. Las partes finales se centran en la historia principal y los quince cuentos moralizantes. Especial atención merecen los temas de género/feministas en la novedosa extensión de la historiamarco, y los motivos de cuentos populares presentes en esta colección, estilística y temáticamente ideada para ayudar al público más joven a mejorar su competencia lectora.
