Synopsis
The Most Excellent Maria: In A Brief Character Of Her Incomparable Virtues And Goodness. By Her Eternal Honourer, Sir Edward Dering is a 1701 memorial work by English Knight Sir Edward Dering composed as a long encomium to a virtuous woman named Maria. The volume intertwines prose and poetry, beginning with an Epistle Dedicatory and a lengthy Introduction on the fragility of worldly fortune and the consolations of faith. It then presents a comprehensive portrait of Maria’s life and character, detailing her birth, piety, charity, gratitude, conjugal affection, and steadfastness in adversity. The book contains Latin and English verse—Latin epitaphs and lapidaries, Latin and English odes, and paraphrases—along with reflections on mortality, virtue, and the afterlife. Personal letters attributed to Maria reveal a deep, reciprocal love with her husband or confidant, and the author records vows to honor her memory with monuments, an annual sermon, and charitable gifts. The work serves as a devotional biography and a model of virtuous female conduct, blending biography with devotional poetry and classical stylistic forms.
