As an early seventeenth-century writer of tragedy Elizabeth Cary, Lady Falkland , has an important place in literary history, though her play, like her first translation, was done when she was almost a child. She herself probably valued more highly her geographical, biographical and theological works, both translated and original. Her Edward II extraordinarily blends history, drama, and political commentary.
