There were deep suspicions and restrictions surrounding the education of women during this period, and thus the contributions of women to literature, and to the print industry itself, are largely unknown. This wide-ranging examination of the genres of early modern women's writing embraces translation (from Latin, Greek, and French) in the fields of theological discourse, romance and classical tragedy, original meditations and prayers, letters and diaries, poetry, closet drama, advice manuals, and prophecies and polemics. A close study of six major authors - Mary Sidney, Aemilia Lanyer, Elizabeth Tanfield Cary, Lady Mary Wroth, Margaret Cavendish, and Katherine Philips - explores their work as poets, dramatists, and romantic fiction writers. Demers invites readers to savour the subtlety and daring with which these women authors made writing an expressly social craft. 410 0$aWomen's writing in English. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 676 $a820.9/9287/09031 700 $aDemers$b Patricia$f1946-$0949735 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459946903321 996 $aWomen's writing in English$92146663 997 $aUNINA
