Question from Annabeth - Lucy Negro and Shakespeare's "Dark Lady"
Hello everyone! I was reading an article about The Dark Lady of the sonnets and I want to know something more about Lucy Negro who was mentioned as possible Dark Lady.Thank you on your answers.
I am one with Michael Wood who argued that Shakespeare's "Dark Lady" was a woman named Emilia Bassano was daughter of a Jewish Italian musician from Venice named Baptista Bassano.
Bassano was a mistress of Henry Carey, Viscount Hunsdon, who was a patron of William Shakespeare.
