Mary Fage
Mary Fage (fl. 1637) was a middle-class English poet known only through her one book, ''Fames Roule'', published in 1637. ''Fames Roule'' is a collection of over four hundred acrostic verses, each one an anagram addressed to a noble person in the early Stuart court, in the order of legal precedence.〔"Mary Fage Composes Anagrams." ''Female and Male Voices in Early Modern England''. Ed. Betty S. Travitsky and Anne Lake Prescott. New York: Columbia University Press, 2000. 277–282. Print.〕 ==Family== The only identification we have of Mary Fage is on the title page of ''Fames Roule'', where she writes: “By Mistris Mary Fage, wife of Robert Fage the younger, Gentleman.”〔Fage, Mary. “Fames Roule.” ''The Early Modern Englishwoman: A Facsimile Library of Essential Works, Series I, Printed Writings, 1500–1640: Part 2, Volume II, The Poets, II: Mary Fage.'' Ed. Betty S. Travitsky and Patrick Cullen. Burlington: Ashgate Publishing Company, 2000. Print.〕 Betty S. Travitsky’s research into Mary Fage’s genealogy through Essex parish records has led to a tentative connection to a Robert Fage in Doddinghurst parish, Essex, and an Edward Fage of the same parish (presumably Mary's father).〔Travitsky, Betty S. Introduction. ''The Early Modern Englishwoman: A Facsimile Library of Essential Works, Series I, Printed Writings, 1500–1640: Part 2, Volume II, The Poets, II: Mary Fage.'' Ed. Betty S. Travitsky and Patrick Cullen. Burlington: Ashgate Publishing Company, 2000. Print.〕 If this is the case, Mary Fage was native to Doddinghurst, and one of the rare women during that time that did not change their surname. The little documentation about this Mary and Robert Fage allude to the birth of one son in 1637 and of the death of another son 1638. This Robert Fage did some translations, although it is not clear whether or not he can be connected to several other original publications under the same name.〔Travitsky, Betty S. “Relations of Power, Relations to Power, and Power(ful) Relations: Mary Fage, Robert Fage, and Fames Roule.” ''Pilgrimage for Love: Essays in Early Modern Literature in Honor of Josephine A. Roberts.'' Ed. Sigrid King. Tempe: Arizona State University, 1999. Print.〕 Being married to this Robert Fage would make Mary Fage connected to the Caroline court through her husband’s extended family. While there is no evidence that Mary or Robert had any direct relation with the court, Robert Fage’s father was a well-trained lawyer and related (by marriage) to a local family of lawyers, the Barkers. One of the Barkers had sat in the previous two parliaments, and another was the serjeant-at-law.〔
