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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/9287/09031 702 $aKnoppers$b Laura Lunger 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996209296103316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to early modern women's writing$92493567 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
