Seeking the right to preach and prophesy, women such as Katherine Chidley, Anna Trapnel, Elizabeth Poole, and Anne Wentworth envisioned the modern political principles of toleration, the separation of Church from state, privacy, and individualism. Gillespie argues that their sermons, prophesies, and petitions illustrate the fact that these liberal theories did not originate only with such well-known male thinkers as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. Rather, they emerged also from a group of determined female religious dissenters who used the Bible to reassess traditional definitions of womanhood, public speech and religious and political authority. Gillespie takes the 'pamphlet literatures' of the seventeenth century as important subjects for analysis, and her study contributes to the important scholarship on the revolutionary writings that emerged during the volatile years of the mid-seventeenth-century Civil War in England.Domesticity & Dissent in the Seventeenth CenturyEnglish literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismLiterature and historyGreat BritainHistory17th centuryEnglish literaturePuritan authorsHistory and criticismEnglish literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismDissenters, ReligiousEnglandHistory17th centuryWomen and literatureEnglandHistory17th centuryPuritan womenEnglandIntellectual lifeDissenters, Religious, in literatureGreat BritainHistoryCivil War, 1642-1649Literature and the warEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Literature and historyHistoryEnglish literaturePuritan authorsHistory and criticism.English literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Dissenters, ReligiousHistoryWomen and literatureHistoryPuritan womenIntellectual life.Dissenters, Religious, in literature.820.9/358Gillespie Katharine561995UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910784315203321Domesticity and dissent in the seventeenth century941501UNINA
