PRAISE
“This is a landmark volume, and one which will give new direction to the study of early modern women and the multiple ways in which they were active participants in the literary culture of the sixteenth century.”
—Margaret Ezell, Distinguished Professor of English, Texas A&M University, USA
“This highly stimulating set of essays is the second in a series of volumes charting the history of British women's writing... The essays succeed admirably in making timely and productive connections between women's writing and the multifarious spaces and discourses that women inhabited in early modern Britain...In sum, this collection offers a richly detailed and nuanced, fresh topography of women's writing of this era that is astute in scholarship and attuned to the latest developments in the field.”
—Femke Molekamp, Renaissance Quarterly
