Improving God's estate: pastoral servitude and the free market in the writings of Mary Cary. 330 $aIn Domesticity and Dissent Katharine Gillespie examines writings by seventeenth-century English Puritan women who fought for religious freedom. 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. 517 3 $aDomesticity and dissent in the 17th-century 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEnglish literature$xPuritan authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDissenters, Religious$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPuritan women$zEngland$xIntellectual life 606 $aDissenters, Religious, in literature 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1642-1649$xLiterature and the war 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xPuritan authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDissenters, Religious$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPuritan women$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aDissenters, Religious, in literature. 676 $a820.9/358 700 $aGillespie$b Katharine$0561995 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818334203321 996 $aDomesticity and dissent in the seventeenth century$9941501 997 $aUNINA
