Since the body of critical studies on women's writing for the most part prioritizes print over manuscript, this essay collection provides an essential corrective. The essays in this volume discuss many of the ways in which women participated in early modern manuscript culture. The manuscripts studied by the contributors originated in a wide range of different milieux, including the royal Court, the universities, gentry and aristocratic households in England and Ireland, and French convents. Their contents are similarly varied: original and transcribed secular and devotional verse, religious meditations, letters, moral precepts in French and English, and recipes are among the genres represented. Emphasizing the manuscripts' social, political and religious contexts, the contributors challenge commonly held notions about women's writing in English in the early modern period, and bring to light many women whose work has not been considered before. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y16th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 676 $a820.9/9287/09031 701 $aBurke$b Victoria E$g(Victoria Elizabeth)$01860830 701 $aGibson$b Jonathan$f1965-$01860831 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966553103321 996 $aEarly modern women's manuscript writing$94466733 997 $aUNINA
