Presenting key textual, historical, and methodological information, the volume exemplifies new and diverse approaches to the study of women's writing. The book is clearly divided into three sections, covering: how women learnt to write and how their work was circulated or published; how and what women wrote in the places and spaces in which they lived, worked, and worshipped; and the different kinds of writing women produced, from poetry and fiction to letters, diaries, and political prose. This structure makes the volume readily adaptable to course usage. The Companion is enhanced by an introduction that lays out crucial framework and critical issues, and by chronologies that situate women's writings alongside political and cultural events.Cambridge companions to literature.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismWomen and literatureGreat BritainHistory17th centuryWomen and literatureGreat BritainHistory16th centuryEnglish literatureWomen authorsEnglish literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Women and literatureHistoryWomen and literatureHistoryEnglish literatureWomen authors.English literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.820.9/9287/09031Knoppers Laura LungerUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996209296103316The Cambridge companion to early modern women's writing2493567UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
